3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Orange color. Creamy head. Light hop aroma. More of an American ESB. I prefer the brittish work on this style. Althought I have to say the quality was there compared to the Flying Fish ESB I had tried a minute earlier.

This one was nice and hoppy but still mild and subdued at the same time. Lots of flowery hops. Another good one from ABC.

Served on draft at the Gettysburg location. Pours a hazy copper color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel and toffee. The taste is dark toffee notes, nuts and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Fairly nice.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber red with a thin white head. Aroma of lots of fruits, especially apple skins. Flavor of sweet malt, light spicy hops, and plenty of sweet fruits with a touch of floral notes. Ok, but it’s sweet.

On cask @ Camp Hill. Pours a hazy gold with a lacing white head. Initial hoppy aroma gives way to a well balanced, smooth body. Bitter finish, good session beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not a bad beer but a little lighter in body than I remember most ESB’s. The flavor was good but seemed to be less robust than the English versions. Better to call this an American ESB.

Draught. At the Penn Brew fest 6-4-05. I really liked this one. Dark amber and with a nice malty, hoppy nose. Some caramel flavors with a good solid hop bite. I loved the balance of this and it was perfectly carbonated. The folks from the brewery were good sports and kept the beers flowing as well. I liked this one a lot.
