Mar 9, 2007 Beautiful copper color with nice lacing. Delicious caramel flavor balanced with a nice hop backbone. I have not tried many beers of this style but this one was good. A great session beer.

Feb 23, 2007 This is some damn easy drinking beer! It’s nice to see that Alesmith can pull off the session beers as well as the big bad muthas. Flawless balance of malt and hops.

Feb 20, 2007 Bottle at The Local, SD, CA. Poured clear dark amber hue with huge frothy off-white head that Mostly lasted with good lacing. Heavy aroma of hops, malt and apple cider. Medium to full body. Well balanced flavor of malt, hops and fruit with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout brew.

Jan 16, 2007 Rather sweet, definitely caramel-flavored. Malt definitely overpowers the hops and yeast. Very good fruity aroma. The taste could be a little more bitter--but then that’s probably more my preference in beer.

Jan 15, 2007 22oz bottle pored a dark copper color with a nice off white head. Aromas of caramel malts and mild hopping. Taste was smooth and well balanced with caramel malts being the key. Wonderfull fruit esters from the yeast strain come through in the finish. A very well crafted ESB.
