2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. The aroma is mostly sweet malt with a bit of hops. Medium body with caramel malt and hops flavors, as well as a hint of fruit. The finish is malty at first with a short and hoppy aftertaste. So-so overall.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A good quality ESB. A hint of sweet malts, but a bitter profile that is decent. Not the best, but still.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Sampled draught at Wet Dog Cafe/Pacific Rim, Astoria
Pale copper, nose of light fruit & hops, tart dry flavor with a watery finish. There’s nothing for me here.
