Aug 28, 2009 Pours a clear, deep copper body with a lasting ring of beige head. Smells of floral hops, touch of roast, toffee. Flavor is the same. Not too bitter. I like the hops used in this brew.

Aug 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle from a 6-pack. Purchased at Greens on Ponce De Leon. Nice dark copper/caramel brown. Beer is dark but still transparent. Used to be listed as an ESB, but not it is an ESA? Oh well, the beer looks good nonetheless. Nice head that settles to a nice thin head that doesn’t seem to disappear. Very nice sweet malty aroma with a strong hop backing. Very aromatic floral aroma. This beer surprisingly has exceeded my expectations in terms of aroma. Nice malty flavor with a nice subtle hop backing. Hops leave a lingering but subtle bitterness in your mouth. I could be wrong but I taste a subtle toffee flavor at the beginning which quickly fades away to that sweet malty and hop flavor. Very balanced beer, as many of you have noted. I actually enjoyed this one...pretty good and fairly smooth.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of kp: Pours a transparent deeo copper amber with a large, well-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of nice grapefruity and lemony hops with a good caramel malty presence. Starts fairly full for the style with pleasant toffee sweetness and good piny flavoring hop balance before a crisp, bittersweet finish. Probably more like an amber than an ESB, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Mar 9, 2009 12oz bottle thanks to.... Pours amber with a reddish tint. Has a thin, off-white head. My sinuses were clogged so I couldn’t tell what this smelled like. Taste had some caramel malt. Mouthfeel was medium-to-light woth some mild bitterness. Not bad.
