mikey (321), farmington, Utah, USA May 1, 2008 Poured an amber color with a finger of ivory head that slowly fades. The nose had a fine malty scent and a nice citrus hop aroma. The taste was great. It had a smooth malty flavor that was light, but full flavored and a floral hop bite that adds quite a bit of bitterness. The mouthfeel is good. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate/good carbonation. This is a fine ESB. It is well balanced and full of flavor; a great beer.
