3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slightly sweet aroma, almost lager-like. It pours a clear amber with a nice rocky, white head. Slightly bitter flavor, fairly light mouthfeel, but very nice for a session ale.

Pours a clear dark copper color with a thick and fizzy white head that dissipates rapidly. Spotty lacing. Lightly spiced hops aroma with touches of toasted grain. Medium-bodied and on the carbonated side with piney hops flavor at first, followed by bready malt and grain. The finish is equal parts hops and malt and leaves a residual hoppy bitterness. Overall a decent ESB.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Floral hop with malty bread for aroma. Copper hued it is, and the white head quickly ringed. Medium bodied with almost creamy (mild) carbonation. The floral aspects are strong in the flavor, and there may be some grapefruit citrus. The malt is extremely well balanced with the hop. This may be more English than the English, for the most part. The finish is clean, not at all sweet, and there is some grapefruit hanging around. All in all it’s just delicious. Wonderful in the mouth.
