Commercial Description:
Brewed with lots of Golden Promise and Pale Ale malts with a touch of Oats and light hazy gold in color. Ultra crisp bitterness from Warrior hops, with Glacier hops adding the peach,orange and apricot aroma. We dry-hopped this one because...we like hops.

PPRBSG09. Can. Pours a copper white body body with a floral spicy pepper hop character and a dry earthy bitterness. This sets out to do exactly what it wants, v.bitter.

Can thanks to tytoanderso. Pours a murky orange with thick off-white head. Aroma somewhat weak, but pleasant of citrus hops and a sourness. Flavor matches pretty well, a nice refreshing beverage.

50 cl can, Fargo, ND, USA. Faintly hazy amber colour, citrus yeast and pine aroma. Minimal carbonation lets the flavor through, most english style of bitter I’ve tried from an US brewer. Very nice.

Can thanks to DalzAle. Aroma has notes of resin, flowers, and citrus hops. Medium copper hue with a small white foamy head that mostly diminished and left some lace. Flavor is sweet and finishes decently bitter. Palate is med-light bodied and soft. Good brew!

pours otherwise rather ugly looking... coppery golden brown with a soapy whitish head with some moderate drips and splotches of foam. the nose is very floral... orange blossoms, peaches, pale malt sweetness, lots of wood, earth, dry spiciness and faint non resinous pine. the flavor is the same... very dry, floral and bitter with a spiced finish. hoppy bitterness lingers. seemingly light bodied with a rich slick mouth feel... i could drink this all day! at 4.2% i realistically could! 8/3/8/4/16/3.9

On tap at the Bavarian Lodge. Light orange pour with a white, persistent head . Floral aroma of resin and chamomile. Flavor is amazing tasty hops, some fruit, some tea. Creamy mouthfeel. Great finish. Basically, really awesome ESB.

16 oz can shared with Todd during DLD 09 weekend. Pours a clear light amber with a medium off white head. Beautiful floral aroma with hints of pine resin. Taste is very floral with hints of pine and bitter hops. The aroma on this one is killer.
