[1108-20080217] Tap @ Elysian Fields (Seattle, WA). Mild malt grains aroma. Clear, brown amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head and a thick lace coating. Same grainy rye and crusty bread yeast continues in flavour with a long finish. Medium-full body is a little boozy. Interesting.

On tap, was just what I was looking for. Pretty mild in most areas, though it has a great light body and full head. The flavor showcases bitter hops without being too bitter. Not my favorite style, but definitely would order again.

One of my favorites out of the sampler at the Elysian brewpub. An example of moderation, not too harsh, not too mellow; not too fizzy, not too carbonated, etc. Left me wishing I had ordered a full glass.

Bronze with big head that laces like a like your white-washing the glass. Strict quick hop hit with a good balance at the end. Nice ESB.

Pours brown, slight white head. Nice aroma, decent body, all around a solid ESB, but nothing special

22oz bottle...deep copper color with small white head. up front is hops and citrus. the finish is mellow and slightly sweet which evens out the hops

Draft pint at Humpy’s. Rusty red, the color borders on bronze. The head is quite gluey, leaving a curtain-like wall down the glass. This comes across very tea-like overall -- leafy and bitter. If it were hot, you might convince me this was Earl Grey. (#3298, 1/19/2008)
