Nov 3, 2009 Light caramel nose, full earthy hops. Reddish caramel, respectable white head. Starts off earthy enough and typical, a strawberry essence comes out in the finish. Really liked this.

Sep 28, 2009 Had this and Deschutes Cascade Ale back-to-back . . . couldn’t tell the difference between them. I suppose my Beer God ststus will be revoked for that. Both beers were good though - enjoyable, lightly hopped thirst-quenchers.

Sep 12, 2009 355ml bought at The USA bar, GBBF 09. Clear, dark orange coloured body. Fading off-white foam leaving fragile laceworks on the glass. Malt-fruity aroma. Spicy, leaf hoppiness in flavour along with sweet juicy malts. Crisp and soft in the mouth (hotel room, Earls Court 06.08.2009).

Aug 14, 2009 Bottle from GBBF 09. Clear orange copper thin off white head. Moderate hoppy aroma, some malts in the mouth, but again it is oxidised and not as fresh as it could be. Yes some malt, and some not very good yeast flavour, but I’m guessing this is due to it not being very fresh.

Aug 12, 2009 12 oz bottle from the Beerhive in SLC. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is nice; loads of rich malts, some bananas, just loads of sweet malts. The flavor is similar; a huge malt presence, caramel and sweeter flavors. Loads of malt and light hops. Enjoyable.

Jul 28, 2009 Smooth and refreshing with just a little bit of hop bite, boy do I ever love a good ESB!

Jul 19, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with ditmier. Pours a mostly clear darkened amber with a moderate-large, fluffy, off-white head that lasted until the last mouthful and left a complete ring of foam with each sip. Pleasant malty aroma along with just a hint of floral hops. The flavor is malt followed by medium hops bitterness at the finish. Happily, the hops bitterness is not overdone. This is a very solid and enjoyable ESB.

Jun 22, 2009 Caramel color with fluffy off white head. Sweet malt aroma with fruit and hops. Taste starts bitter with a sweet malt base. This brew is medium-light bodied. Finishes bitter. Really good beer.
