Sep 9, 2007 On tap at the pub in Greenville: Another copper colored brew. Decent hop aroma. Medium body, nice lasting head. Flavor leans toward the hops with a long bitter finish. Not bad.

Aug 19, 2007 draught. Pours a cloudy dark copper with a peristent white head. Aroma is very, very bready with distinct fresh yeast. Some zesty grapefruit and other citrus are present. The flavor is quite malty with loads of dinstinct rye which combined with the fairly assertive hops, culminates in a rather dry finish. This is clean and well balanced. I’d say the rye stands out more here than any other beer I’ve had, maybe due to the lack of deep complexity.

Jun 17, 2006 On tap at the brewpub in downtown Greenville. Has the same house aroma as the ESB, kind of a musty feet smell. Light copper appearance, slightly sparkling, solid white head. Some citrsusy notes in the flavor, some mintiness. Not bad at all. Clean mouthfeel, goes down much smoother than the ESB.
