Had on tap at BB. Orange color, rocky head. Run of the mill ESB. Was hoping for something a bit more. Similar to a red hook from the bottle. Smooth, very drinkable

Aug 5, 2008 From a 22 ounce bottle purchased at By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a copper-amber body with a nice full cream head. Tangy, bitter, fruity, creamy, biscuit nose. Great soft mouthfeel and citrus presence. Hoppy and floral for an ESB, but all the better. Chewy, creamy, delicious!

Jul 28, 2008 Floral and herbal hops in the aroma. The beer pours a golden orange. Tastes up front of floral bitter hops followed by a nice malty backbone that creates a soft sweet citrus fruity effect. Like tangerines or something. Well crafted and drinkable.

Jul 17, 2008 Good bitter, textbook for the style. Golden, but more on the honey colored side. Small white head, with some great head retention and lacing. Cookie dough maltiness, some bitter citrus notes and just a hint of earthy vegetal notes near the finish.

Jan 21, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours lightly hazy, coppery amber with a scant but slightly lacy white head. Soft fruit and toast nose. Medium body and light carbonation. Lightly sweet taste of fruit, nuts, citrus. Dry pine finish. Seems a little under-hopped, but enjoyable.
