3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample BI Indy gathering 2/25/06 - Aroma is sweet, malt, and banana. Pours yellow-brown with small head and good lacing. Flavor is pretty lame. Palate is thin and clean. My notes said to copy the Butty Bach so I did.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Frothy, rocky, off-white, large, holding & lacing over transparent yet thick amber/copper with apparent stickiness. Sharp hops to start with green wood, light caramel and crusty breadiness (and by that I mean, "like the crust of white bread"). Creamy in the mouth, although a little on the thin side. Honey and tea bitters to start the flavor, mellowing to a nicely balanced ESB with hearty malts (lightly sweet) to balance the sharpness of the hops and yeast.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The bottle poured a slightly hazy dark amber colored beverage with an ample off-white smooth head that was mostly lasting and left beautiful lacing on the glass. The aroma was on the malty side of things with a nice fruitiness and notes of bubblegum and cotton candy in the background. The body was medium-full with a smooth medium carbonation and a nice dry texture. The flavor starts off every so slightly sweet. As it matures on the pallet, it takes on a more bitter character. The finish is fairly long and presents a nice bitter and dry character.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Copper colored beer with an off-white head leaving nice lacings in the glass. Aroma is fruity and piney. Flavor much the same, with a pronounced bitterness and malty sweetness. Medium body and a long piney bitterness in the finish. A pleasant ESB. (060217)
