(tap) deep copper with small tan head. Caramel and earthy hops aroma. Very hoppy for an ESB but nice, with plenty of malt and body for balance.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Brewski’s in Fayetteville, AR. Pours a clear, copper colored body with a finger-width, creamy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is lightly sweetened caramel and toffee with a good amount of orange citrus herbal hops. Hints of bread, touches of grass, and a very light toast. Flavor is similar. More hopped than most ESBs with a good amount of orange herbal citruses giving off a few resins. Lightly sweetened crystal and caramel malts with touches of toffee bread. Finishes fairly bitter and dry with a light sweetness and a good amount of citruses. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, an ESB with a bit more hops and bitterness than most, but pretty tasty and balanced with a light malt sweetness. Not bad.
