3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap for the Bell’s beer dinner at Grange in Ann Arbor. An amber beer with a white head. Floral and citrus hop aroma. Flavor is also strong on fresh floral and citrus hops with a nice bitterness. Due to the same hops, this was described as being similar to Two Hearted, and that’s quite accurate. Really a great beer; it especially stood out when paired with the cheese at the dinner.

On tap. Pours a brilliant copper/amber/crimson with a fairly substantial khaki head that leaves some intricate lacing. Nose involves some light floral and pine hop notes, toasted malts, and touches of berry-fruit notes. Fairly bitter with some sweetness to balance. Lighter bodied, crisp, vibrant, with a lengthy clean bitterness on the end. Really nice brew, great with pub fare and easy drinking.

Draft at Eccentric Cafe.
Poured clear reddish copper color with an average creamy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy resin hop and toasted malt aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
The beer is a standout brew for style.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the cafe. Red pour, some head. Smells spicey and hoppy like an ESB should. Flavor is big, a bit piney and malty. Dry finish. I dug it, though is definitely unlike most other ESBs Ive had.
