Pour is a bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat earthy and floral. Flavor has some caramel kick to it with a touch of the hops. Prob the best one i sample today. #2 of 4 sampler.

(draught at brewpub) Medium gold (light for an ESB) with almost no head but nice lace. Faint aroma - some malt. Flavor is mostly malt with a hint of sweetness then a bit of hops in the finish.

On tap - golden brown with a frothy head that stays around and gives some very nice lacing. Not a whole lot of aroma - caramel and malt mix with a bit of sweetness. Starts with a syrupy friuty sweetness, then turns quite dry. Spicy hops then come to the front. The hoppiness coats the back of the mouth. The initial sweetness goes away after a few drinks. The beer is medium bodied. Further down the glass the taste gets a little metallic. Overall it is a fairly nice beer.

Draft pint at the brewpub, 5/12/06: Light! Yellow-orange. An even brew with light malt character and a slight hoppy edge. Not the flavorful creation I’d hoped for, but good ... more of a light pale ale or a dark blonde ale, I’d say.
