Oct 6, 2008 Well, it looks basic enough, glassy yellow hue with a thin head. Aroma is a great balance of nutty malt, (I love nutty malt aroma) and a light hop citrus. Did I mention that I love nutty malt characters? ’Cuz I do, and this mingles with well with a mild hop build. Not the most memorable ESB, but a damn fine example. And kudos to Southern Tier for brewing a harvest ale that has nothing to to do with spices or pumpkins.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly orange-ish gold with a medium sized, sudsy head (that dies back fairly quickly.) Aromas are fairly crisp... pine and citrus, but they are kind of subdued. While those hops dominate the nose and would make you think you were headed down the IPA path, flavor is more consistent with an English ESB... kind of a sweet honey and bread malt body with a bitter hops to hold it in check... it stays nice and crisp throughout and is pleasant enough.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours a clear, light honey gold with a minimal white head. Incredible aroma of sweet honey and an abundance of citrus and pine scented hops. Delicious taste, rivals some top IPA’s in my opinion. Very smooth sweet honey and orange flavors at the start that fade amazingly into a great bitter but controlled hop finish. If anything it’s a little too herbal tasting as it lingers, but still exceptional.
