Bottled
Amber colour. Citric aroma from hops and very tea-like. Resiny flavour with a wonderful hop profile, that’s fresh and citrusy. Very well balanced, maybe a bit one-dimensional.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
12oz Bottle
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.
4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Lives up to its name as an ESB. Has a definite bite to it. Best Alaskan beer I’ve had so far. Can’t wait to go back to my homestate and drink it like a native.
