Medium brown ESB. I’ve had this in bottles before and wasn’t too impressed with the bottle version, so was interested in trying it on tap. The aroma is kind of fruity and citrusy. Flavor is medium malt body with sweet, acidic hop flavors throughout. ’Crisp’ flavor - not overly bitter. An excellent American version of an ESB.

Nov 17, 2008 decaturstevo’s 2008 Zapit Tasing Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to decaturstevo. Borderline orange-golden with a fizzy white head that quikly dissipates. All I get is soap in the aroma, weak malts and light hops. Taste is improved, caramels and a drying maltiness into a light finishing bitterness.

Nov 15, 2008 Translucent orange amber. Mild malty aroma is nothing special. The flavor steps it up considerably. Nice balance between floral hops and caramel malt. Pleasant finish.

Oct 3, 2008 12oz bottle. Clear amber with a lasting head. Hoppy aroma with light fruity yeast notes and some caramel malt. Pretty hoppy. Actually, this is quite hoppy and bitter, but retains the esb qualities, with some caramel malt, and fruity notes. Medium body and pretty smooth. Very drinkable. Pretty tasty.
