krautdog (12), Garfield Hts., Ohio, USA Apr 8, 2008 I had this on tap at the brewpub, served in an imperial pint glass. It was very drinkable, a solid ESB in the British style.
Gregis (739), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Oct 18, 2007 Sampler draft at the brewpub. Pours a deep iced tea brown with a creamy beige head that reduces to a lasting thin skin. Nice creamy lacing. The aroma is of nutty malt and lightly fruity hops. Light-bodied and slick with a tight, hoppy, bitter finish. Lightly nutty malt with a faint caramel backing and a fruity hop conclusion. A very solid ESB, and one of my favorites of the evening. 10/14/07 kp (5800), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 07/21/2007

sliffy (1896), Columbus, Ohio, USA Aug 31, 2007 On tap @ the Brew pub: Pours a clear ruddy copper color with an off white head. Aroma, yeast, earthy hops and caramel. Flavor, caramel, nutty, earthy with a medium carbonation and some bitterness on the finish. Pretty solid. ultraspank (853), Dublin, Ohio, USA Jul 22, 2007 Thanks to Bob, Michelle, and mostly my baby Jana for the 12th annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival today! On tap @ the fest. Nose of dried fruit & flowers. The brew is clear copper. The quickly diminishing creamy off white head leaves light lace. The very floral flavor is well balanced and has a light acidity. The finish is long and bitter. The medium body is creamy & soft. The finish feels dry.
