Jul 15, 2006 Nice copper-red with good head. Fruit nose with some yeast. Flavor hits with hops and settles with earthy, orange maltiness. Solid ESB.

Jul 12, 2006 Bottle. Pours deep amber with a frothy head and lattice work on the side of the glass. Aroma is blunt melon with sweet tea in the background. Flavor provides an immediate rush of hops that is only tempered briefly by a nice, dull-shaped malt. Nice balance. Palate spreads the flavor nicely. Enjoyable.

Jun 27, 2006 Straight amber, 1cm off-white head of regularly shaped bubbles. Earthy, salty and quite mineral nose shows rather brash hoppiness that speaks of the weakness of the caramel maltiness underneath. Dryish and rather dusty flavour profile grows quite metallic toward the finish. Light-medium body, medium carbonation. A bit ordinary.

Jun 25, 2006 Amber orange ale with a thin white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with light C-hops. In mouth, a light sweet malt with floral hops, burned caramel and a smooth medium body. Mondial 2006.

Jun 19, 2006 (On cask at the PP Real Ale Festival 2006) Pours with an orange-amber body topped by a thick creamy head with a good amount of lacing. It’s bitter and piney with an underlying malty sweetness. Medium bodied and smooth.

Jun 15, 2006 Bomber. Pours a clear orange amber with a lacy beige head. The aroma is oranges, toffee and a bit of yeast. Creamy medium body with light-ish carbonation. Taste is lightly sweet with toffee, fruit and grapefruit. Lighty bitter finish with a bit of aftertaste. Nicely balanced, with the hops supporting a malty backbone.

Jun 5, 2006 Smells of bad oranges and yeast. Pours dark and hazy – an extremely shadowy amber hue. Head was but one inch and was gone before I knew it. It has got the bitters, but its not knocking me over the head. Aftertaste lingers a bit too long and tastes of alcohol A solid ESB to give the nod, but not to write home about.

Jun 5, 2006 Dry, wooden hoppiness heralds American, not British, intensity...Lean-bodied butterscotch maltiness is able to lift the orangey, earthy hops and their generous bittering...Equilibrium is reached, but somehow interest isn’t...
