obguthr (707), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Apr 26, 2008 Wheat, lemon, and rose hip aroma. Hazy golden color, with a thick cream colored head. Whole lemon flavor with hints of oat and grass in the end. Citrus notes untypical of an ESB, but good.
Guinness4Duff (384), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Jun 29, 2008 Bottle. Copper pour with a big off white head. Nice hop aroma, citrusy and spicy. Has a dry bitter flavor, not alot going on, just a clean hoppy taste. Not bad. Vas19 (191), Maryland, USA Jun 26, 2008 Pours orange amber with a small white head. Gentle aroma of malt and hops. Surprisingly little hop flavor, mostly just malt. Light for an ESB. Highly drinkable, but not much too it. kevd193213 (287), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Jun 13, 2008 Bottle. Clear orange pour with large white frothy head. Aroma of spices and citrus with some faint hops present. Taste of mild and bitter hops. I agree with a previous reviewer that this is more like a mild American Pale than a bitter. Solid session brew. phishpond417 (1110), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 12, 2008 Just tried this one on Saturday and enjoyed it. Colour is relatively clear and orange. a very sticky white head that leaves staggered lacing down the glass. an initial light malt taste followed up light hops that leaves a nice soft bitter finish. Tastey all around! Radek Kliber (3272), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 4, 2008 Bottle at Mondial 2008
Appearance: Clean amber ale with touch of full gold , fizzy rocky top. Nose Solid, “full swing” hop aroma , strong west coast character noted, alpha bitter ale 7+. Flavor/Palate : Citric hop cleanness up front. Sweet golden malt as filler. Straight forward hop oriented ale that was well made. Satisfying . solid bitter.
