beerinmarch (2830) - Washington, USA - NOV 25, 2007
On tap at the brewery. Amber in color with a white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with a toffee and caramel malt taste. Good earthy quality towards the finish. Nice beer overall.

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 22, 2007
Bright amber. Has a slightly distracting berryish fruitiness along with a complex toasty-crusty malt and lightly fruit hop. Moderate bitterness. Quite a bit more toasty-woody character on the palate leading to a relatively quick, dry finish.

BuckeyeBoy (2146) - Boise, Idaho, USA - JUN 25, 2007
On Tap at the Brewpub pours out a clear amber topped with a off white head. Some nice bitter hops on this one.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - JUN 17, 2007
Tap @ Brewpub: Bronze color, light head and lacing. Nose of herbs, spicy hops, chive and spruce. The flavor is creamy and malty with plenty of caramel and grassy hop bitterness. Musky finish and tasty though.

IndianaRed (1734) - Boise, Idaho, USA - JUN 16, 2007
On Tap at the BrewPub. Clear deep copper with a thin dense sandy colored head. Mild sweet maly aro.a and plenty of bittering hops in the flavor. Not bad.

harlequinn (2745) - Tacoma, Washington, USA - FEB 27, 2006
Starts off being a very decent ESB, right up until the finish. It is harsh and astrigent and chalky, everything else about the beer is very solid, and nicely balanced. Great caramel flavors and some decent hoppy bitterness.

11026 (1772) - Alabama, USA - SEP 21, 2005
Tap. Amber in color and clear with a decent off-white head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is a fair blend of caramel malt and floral hop. Lighter bodied with a fair carbonation level. Balance is fine with malt and hop. Nothing exceptional, but solid nonetheless.

DarkElf (2961) - La Jolla, California, USA - AUG 28, 2005
(Draft: Big Horse Brew Pub in Hood River, OR) A pleasant English Bitter, lightly malty with minimal sweetness, and a mild hops bitterness that properly has the most stature. The nose is fairly light, with a gently hoppy aroma. Light-to-medium bodied, dusty and dry on the palate. Light amber in color. Tall, off-white head slowly settles to a thin layer, and does a fine job leaving plenty of patchy lacing on the glass. Unassuming, soft spoken, and easy to drink.

jazz88 (2395) - San Francisco, California, USA - OCT 30, 2002
Tap. Deep copper. Malty flavor. Hop and fruit aroma and a caramel and malty grain flavor.
