ClarkVV (3547), Allston, Massachusetts, USA Aug 16, 2003 Had this on Cask. Believe it is called Challenger Bitter. If this isnt it, I while have to add a new beer. Anyways, the one I am thinking of had a light red color, hardly any smell, maybe some slight hops. Taste was initially hoppy, a little bit of pine and moderately bitter. Body was only medium and was reduced as it warmed. Not very complex and the flavor just ended as it died a watery death. It has a good enough hop flavor up front, but just not enough to carry this beer through.

This is a fairly well rounded ESB and goes great w/their Gorgonzola cheeseburger hennes (932), Fountain, Michigan, USA Sep 14, 2001 By far the best Bonfire brew - the taste has a good solid malt base to meet the substantial hit of hops. Weak body though. brownalegirl (199), Fountain, Michigan, USA Sep 14, 2001
