Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Poured a mostly clear copper, with a small white head. Aroma of toasted malt, earthy hops. Taste is malty, bready, toastey, faint spice, and plenty of earthy hops. Mouth is medium bodied. Finish is mildly bitter. Overall, a decent esp. Would order if I saw it on tap.

Oct 28, 2009 This one reminds more of a Brit esb, being bitter and less hoppy than some American takes on the style. That said it’s none too distinctive but can certainly be sessionable.

Sep 13, 2009 Cask at the Bridgeport Brewery.
Faint aroma of dark fruit and caramel malt. Tart flavor, with cherry and light hops, mostly bittering hops. Cask version was rather dead. Here again, the keg version was much better, but this is the one that got rated.

Aug 26, 2009 6 pack from the local grocery. Pours a clear copper color with an inch of pure white foam. Aroma of biscuit and caramel malts, some light citrus fruit and some earthy hop bite. Flavor is a nice blend of flavorful malts and citrus/earth hops. One of the better ESBs I’ve had, especially at a pretty low price point.
