Copper with a light tan head and lots of lace. Bit of earthyness, decent bitterness. Seemed rather average at the start but it kept getting better.

Lovely floral aroma with a medium amount of hop bite - think of an American Pale Ale. It’s not at all the ESB it bills itself as, which bummed me out, as I was hoping for less bitterness. Nevertheless, it’s complex for what it is and has plenty of malt body with a touch of citrus.

Bottle Pours a thin brown with an aroma akin to a lite barleywine. Clinging lace surrounds the glass. Flavor is a nice bitter of the English variety, with some sour caramel thrown in for good measure. Palate is a bit dull. Overall, a nice average ESB.

Poured clear amber-gold with a decent off-white head and nice lacing. Nice balanced aroma of citrus hops and slightly roasted malt, and yeast. Taste is very hoppy, the malty hop balance is awesoem, but this has an almost oily, sharp bitterness that builds. Very nice full mouthfeel. I like it, one of the best I’ve ever had.

(Bottle)Pours medium amber color. Aroma of grapefruit and pine. Kind of a nutty malt taste upfront which quickly is overtaken by hops and a toasty aftertaste. Really enjoyed this beer alot. Surprisingly good. Will be buying this again soon

Pours a nice hazy golden orange color. Aromas of nice citrus/grapefruit hops. Flavor starts malty and the hops kick in, nice crisp bitter finish.

Deliciosa...casi perfectaaaaaaa. Luce como modelo de comercial, el sabor amargo es el punto perfecto para disfrutar, el aroma complementa toda la experiencia. Salud con gusto!
