Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper amber with a medium frothy off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a dark fruit with a spicy malt. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is a rich malt with raisin and caramel. A good ESB from Summit.

Jan 22, 2009 In short: A sweet candy-ish Amber Ale calling itself an ESB
How: Bottle 12oz. Sent my way by MatSciGuy. Thanks a lot Levi. Drank fresh less than a week after receiving it.
The look: Beautiful clear ruby body topped by a medium off-white head
In long: Nice (but light) nose of herbal hops. Taste is a mix of bred, hard candies and tea-like herbs. Unfortunately the hops do not dry this one enough and it leaves the beer with a hard-candy after-taste. More a sweet Amber ale than a ESB if you ask me. I’ve pub crawled England and I can tell you that if you were to serve an ESB like than in England you wouldn’t get many smiles. Which is actually not a bad thing considering the notorious English bad-teeth.

Dec 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a rich amber color with a beige head that has decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is a nice biscuity aroma. Flavor is a mild, biscuit, nutty flavor with a touch of hop bitterness at the end to make it very balanced. This is a very solid ESB. It is nice and easy on the palate and very drinkable.
