3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the brewery. Aroma of maple-syrupy caramel malt, light berry notes, lots of rich, sweet, lightly toasted malt. Flavor sweet but not overly so, still so notably caramelly. A different sort of ESB, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

On tap at the brewery. Toasty malt and light biscuit. Very clean with mild hops. Very clean. Orange amber clear with thin head. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts sweetish with mild malt flavor, some caramel and biscuit and a clean hop bitterness. Just a very solid bitter with no off aromas or flavors. Clean and honest and very drinkable. Light dry hop finish.

TAp at Earth. Pours a lightly hazy amber with golden and brown hues and a medium bubbly creamy off white head. Aroma of light citrus, taosted malt, cereal grains and toffee. Flavor of the same with caramel and a little earthy.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured a lightly hazy, red amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of toffee malts, bread, caramel malts, earth, and citrus. Taste of toffee malts, light caramel, citrus fruits, earthy yeast, and a lightly bitter, hoppy finish. Really nice, and another candidate for one id like to try on a hand pump.
