Nice crisp, spring ale... don’t let the ESB fool you as it’s not a typical ESB. In terms of taste, more of a cross between a pale ale and a true ESB. Tasty, but nothing extraordinary...

Nov 17, 2009 Clear, amber color with brown hues. Medium sized slightly beige head that settles into some lacings.
Some citric and peppery hop aromas, floral notes, fudge, earth and boiled vegetables. Nothing spectacular, and rather week smell, but still kind of good.
The taste is not very powerful, but again, it’s still quite good. I was afraid that there would be lots of flavors of boiled vegetables (considering the smell), but that wasn’t the case. Tasty citric hops quickly develops into a flavor of sweet malts with a gentle caramel character. Some grains, fudge, earth and boiled carrots (but as notes above, the taste of boiled vegetables is neither strong or irritating). Diacetyls are present, but restrained. The finish is gently bitter with bready malts, grass, peppery hops and just a hint of minerals.
Moderate body, quite smooth. Very low, almost too low, carbonation.
Not bad at all, easy to drink and quite refreshing. I could definitely see myself drinking this one again.

Oct 31, 2009 Updated: Dec 1, 2009Lovely hazy amber color when poured, light head retention. Nice balance of the malt and hops on the nose. Very mild ale, the hops and malt don’t over power each other, with hop being the last on the tongue. Good level of carbonation and mouthfeel. (old bottle btw)

Oct 26, 2009 Dark golden to orange in color with an off white head. The smell is malts, floral, fruits, hops, and earthy. The taste is about the same as the smell.

Sep 4, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellowish orange with a medium sized white head. Smells of hops, caramel and candied orange. It has a strong earthy hop taste, a pine taste, flower taste and a caramel taste. I thought this was a very good beer.
