[436-20070725] 355mL (w/ jerc, tuqueboy). Faint wheaty yeast aroma, some malt. Clear, dark red amber body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Nice malty flavour that’s a little hoppy. Medium body is slightly astringent. Nice blending could be pepped up a little more.

Copper colored. Thin head malt aroma and taste. Bitter finish like you’d expect from an ESB. Meduim body. Better than average.

Bottle sampled at Alan’s initiation, thanks Dogbrick: Aroma is honey and roasted malts. A bit bready. Flavor is earthy, roasted, a tad sweet and a tad nutty. Smooth, bitter finish.

Dark brown sugar color with a foamy rich head and nice lacing. Soft nose of wet hops and earth. Flavor is smooth with a good English ESB flavor. Very nice beer.

Sample in the Alaskan tap room. This brew is a lightly hazed copper color with a medium thin and foamy off-white head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Hops, citrus and earthy malt aroma. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with hops, caramel and biscuity malt flavors. The finish is hoppy and lingering, with a touch of sweetness in the mix. Above average overall.

This brown ale poured with a decent beige head and a floral aroma. The flavor is dominated by hops, but there is some balancing malt. The finish is chalky and bitter.
