Jun 17, 2008 Poured a semi clear copper colour with a medium sized white head. Plenty of carbonation, aroma was pleasent- floral, earthy and hints of caramel. Taste was pleasent also, slightly bitter, acidic with noticeably hop finish.

May 21, 2007 Third stop during May ’07 brewpub tour, brought us to the South Shore Brewery in Ashland, WI. Pours a clear reddish amber brew with an average off-white head that dissolves to a fine film. Fair lacing. Aroma has scents of medium barley malt, some flowery hops, and a touch of maplewood. Taste is smooth, creamy and light flavor that is listed in aroma. Finish is a little flat with a touch of bitter hops. Some flowery herbs in the aftertaste.

Feb 11, 2006 Had this at Old Hayward Brewpub in Hayward wisconsin. Bo the brewmaster was bartending - Old Hayward handles a lot of production for South Shore brewery and I really enjoy their products on tap. This ESB poured a nice mid-grade amber with light with head. Aroma is of hops and malt with some floral accents and a bit of pine present. I would say more towards a medium bodied, but not quite a full medium. Good flavor that finishes clean.

Jun 26, 2003 Great glowing amber copper toned hue with a pencil width high head of off-white ivory foam and leaves small stitching of lace all around the glass. Smell is faint of floral hops and malt a bit estery and woody, but very hard to get any good aroma from this. Taste is lightly hopped and piney bittered, pretty easy to handle and dries with a nice hop twinge that mellows quickly. Medium bodied but getting light with nice drying in the finish. Pretty solid but could offer more spunk and lasting flavors for an EPA.
