UPDATED: APR 26, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours a deep golden with an off-white head. Aroma of hops, sweet malts, and citrus. Flavor is sweet, carbonated, citrus, with bitter finish. I just wasn’t into this brew.

Pours very nicely, clear amber color, medium cream white head. Definite floral aroma, sweet and inviting. Very drinkable, the bitterest taste I’ve ever enjoyed.

Clear amber color with a medium creamy white head. Sweet floral hops aroma with some light caramel. Sweet citrusy bitter flavor with some fruit and caramel in the end.

Transparent copper/amber appearance with light head. Creamy caramel aroma, slightly metallic. A rich aroma that I can’t describe well, perhaps it’s a ’delicate’ hop aroma. Smells like mustard pretzels too. Flavor is dominated by a nice clean bitterness. A smooth medium body with a tingling carbonation, maybe too much for an ESB.

Habersham Beverage Warehouse, Savannah, Ga. - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, creamy, pillowy, yet thin white head. Slightly fruity aroma, some spruce notes. Good subtle bitterness with some citrus accents. Hard to pin down flavor, but it is pleasant, yet bold and perfect for session drinking. Mouthfeel is thick enough. Good bitter.

Pours a nice golden amber color. Aromas of caramel malts and hops. Flavor is a mellow caramel malt flavor with a nice dry hop finish.

Pours a pale golden color. Aroma of a sweet caramelly wheat. Has a initial mild bitter taste that fades into a solid sweetness at the end.

Bottle. Pours a deep golden with a minimal off-white head. Aroma of herbal hops, sweet malts, and citrus. Flavor is sweet, slightly carbonated, citrusy, with a hoppy slightly bitter finish. Good body, good brew.
