Cornfield (4255), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Nov 8, 2006 The pint glass was filled with a hazy light chestnut ale capped by a short-lived head. The aroma is a rich malt with apples and a mild earthiness. The fruity malt sweetness is a good support for the herbal earthy bitterness of the hops that take over the flavor and last long into the finish. Pretty nice.

BBB63 (3795), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 17, 2003 At Indiana BG Fest: Dark amber hue with little head or lace. Roasted malt, fresh hops, grape and cherry aroma with a hint of pine. Crisp bite mellows nicely into a smooth tasting ale. Not bitter as expected. Dry acidic finish. Thin-bodied with a lively and slightly buttery mouthfeel. Good ESB but could have used a little more malt and custer hops and then I would have loved it. Tmoney99 (3523), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Aug 18, 2005 Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. Dark amber hue with medium head that diminshed slowly. Medium aroma of hops and malt. Medium body. Well balanced flavor of malt, hops and citrus with a small bitter finish. thedm (3406), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Feb 1, 2004 This draft sample poured a minimal head of clear fully diminished bubbles. The body was transparent softly carbonated and light brown in color. It had a mild bitter hoppy aroma and a mild flat mouth feel with a lingering bitter finish. The flavor was mildly hoppy and bitter.
