Can poured a clear amber with a lasting creamy amber head. Aromas of bread, citrus, pine, light toffee and a hint of earthiness. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of toasted malt, toffee, grapefruit, light pine and a hint of earthiness with a smooth dry lingering bitter finish.

Listed as an ESB on the menu at the Rackhouse in Denver. Easy drinking malty and sweet. Winter ale a better descriptor than ESB. Passes the 4 pint test!

On tap @ Crazy Mountain. A fruity easy drinking pale, a little on the hoppy side which I prefered. Good session beer.

Tap at Freshcraft. Clear chestnut copper with a thin foamy head. Has an aroma of nutty toffee with a kiss of herbal and citric hops. The flavor is kinda mild with toasted toffee malts, some mild bitterness and a little herbal tones. Some light citric tones throughout, but is mostly toasted toffee. Not bad, but nothing special.
