2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty light yellow/orange. Smooth and dusty on the nose mainly hop based. Pretty bitter with a honeyed cereal finish. Makes my teeth feel a little chalky. Some light green tickles of hop but relaxed overall.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
draft. gold color. prickly, zesty, assertively bitter hops - slightly cheesy / musty with a heavy dried grass character. medium-bodied, a bit under-
attenuated for bitter, leaving it a tad too chewy and syrupy, but the malt is firm and snappy, hops are aggressive with bright acidity and the yeast is mostly transparent and clean. clean, bright, snappy, well-made and delicious.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A golden ESB with a thin off white head. In aroma, a light sweet malt with herbal hops. In mouth, a smooth herbaceous hops, over caramel malt, quite nice and well done. On tap at the brewpub, July 30 2011.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tasty bitter with good color and little aromatic hops. Well done, but nothing special.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draught@brewpub (Portland, OR,)
Pale amber color, small white head. Light nutty nose. Weak, watery palate. Light hoppyness, some citrus, but where are the flavors? Not very ESBish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bready fragrance; no hops. Clear straw color with receding head. Spicy hops start, quickly fading to cleansing bitterness that finishes. Carbonation, light body and bitterness impart a clean taste. A traditional bitter.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Not much on the outside in color or aroma, but a fantastic bitter. Lighter body not too heavy on malts well balanced by bitters without drifting into an IPA. Warming.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A traditional English bitter, the malt profile displays bready and toasty notes
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
pretty strong offering from a small outfit in SE Portland. Not their best beer, but a good start.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Poured amber gold with thick white head. Light but pleasant aroma, medium body, malt with a good hop edge. Lasting hop finish. Not suitable with spice foods, but would be good with something like fish and chips.
