Oct 5, 2007 On tap at Elysian Brewing Seattle, pours out a amber topped with a off white cream head. Nice malt along with a touch of wood on this one. A little hop bitterness makes this a very tasty ESB.

Sep 23, 2007 A great ESB with more hops than typical. Good color, warm aroma, and well-balanced between the carmel malts and bitterness. Had this one at the brewery on Capital Hill - not sure if the bottled version would fair as well.

Sep 21, 2007 Copper color. Good lasting head. Easy drinker especially with the 5.9%. Wish more bombers were this strength. Not to sweet and not to much of a hoppy finish. I could drink this regularily if it were available here.

Sep 12, 2007 Bottle courtesy of SS: Poured a deep copper color ale with large fluffy head with average retention. Aroma of NW bitter hops is dominating with some nice caramel. Taste is probably bitterer then the style would suggest but who cares. Caramel malt is present and provides a nice balance. Good carbonation with a full body.

Sep 12, 2007 On tap at Capital Hill Brewery.
Great amber color. Aroma is of malt and hops. I was surprised how hoppy this was. The malt is maybe not enough for me, but still it is a good beer.

Sep 3, 2007 Nice copper color, with an off white and fluffy head. Nice a slightly astringent hop notes. Goood medium malts, with a touch of carmel, and nice hops, slighty bitter hop notes. Mostly grapefruit, not bad at all.
