DarkElf (2961) - La Jolla, USA - AUG 27, 2005
(Draft: Elliot Glacier Public House in Parkdale, OR) The flavor is mildly sweet and caramely, and balanced by a gentle hop bitterness. Perhaps a tad too sweet for the English bitters of tradition. The bitterness overtakes the malt in the finish for a moderately crispness. The nose is moderately sweet and caramely as well, but lacking any of the hops I get in the flavor. Medium in body, but with a low carbonation level, it’s kind of lifeless on the palate. Light amber body is topped by a small light-tan head that settles to a wide ring. Kind of boring, actually, especially with the carbonation issue.

Tap. Copper-amber colored with a persistant off-white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Not much hop for me in the nose. Light to medium bodied. Nice malt presence is balanced barely by a subtle, earth hop flavor. Uncomplex but a darn solid ESB.

3fourths (6408) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUL 21, 2005
Rusty red and dark orange in color. Nice musty toasted bread and grains. Celebration Ale-like hops: dark, toasty, winterlike, etc. Flavor is semi-sweet toasty malts and dark cherries, a very well balanced beer a similar to a red ale recipe with a little more hops than usual. Very nice.
