Mar 29, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. 6 oz sampler. Light brown amber color. White head with a bit of lacing and poor retention. Aroma is faint and malty. Taste is mild and bready with a lingering hop bitterness that’s a bit strong for an ESB. Smooth mouthfeel and mild flavors make this pretty drinkable but unremarkable.

Mar 28, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber with a lacing beige head. Malty, caramel aroma with a touch of floral hops. Firm toasty caramel malt flavors with woody and citric hops. Soft bitterness persists in the finish Smooth medium body. Good esb flavors with a west coast element that the american hops provide, making it really crisp with a nice bite, where a lot of esbs seem to get flubby at times. Good beer.
