Bottle. Pours coppery amber with a lacy off-white head. Fruit, citrus and floral hop aroma. Light body and medium carbonation. Caramel and fruit sweetness with a moderately bitter and flowery finish. Nice!

Very standard ESB which might win you something at a competition, but I expected better from my first taste of this brewery I had heard so much about.

(a gift from irsihboy....thanks sir!)bronze body with a creamy white head that leaves some webbing.sweet caramel aroma with a hint of hop bitterness.flavor boasts much of the same with a hint of honey.

Good appearance and good head retention.Good creamy palate but unfortunately, lacks flavor. This could be much better than it is.

Aroma of floral hop and malt. Seems balanced. Red copper color with a light beige head. It seems to lace. As the glass approaches the nose, the malt aroma dominates. A strong carbonation. Then roasted, but not dark, malt overwhelms things. Ends a bit watery and malty sweet. But when the malty sweetness drains away, there is some noticeable hop bitterness. I don’t think it’s balanced, but there is interplay.

Draft. Bronze beer with an off-white head. Slight citrus, caramel aroma. Caramel, toffee flavor with backing citrus. Lingering toffee. Medium body.

A good golden color with a nice head, A decent hoppy aroma with a slight bready maly nose. Misses the ESB style but the beer was good to drink, For a bitter it was too light int he bitter flavor. Needs work on the bitter end. Ouch did I say that.

excellent hop and malt balance. a little too hoppy for esb style. pours a nice ruby/copper color with little head. very nice beer but not to style. it would probably get killed in a competition due to this.
