Draft at Pacific Standard in Brooklyn. Clear copper pour with small, soft off-white yellowish head. A better-than-average ESB, with nice malt to back up the strong and tasty bitter northwest hops. Biscuity on the mid palate and crisply bitter at the end. Nice.

Bottle with a new style label. Clear copper with a fleeting tan head. Mild aroma is earthy malts and toffee. Medium body. Strong flavors are sweet caramel malts with a nice spicy hop bitterness to balance things. Another throwback to early PacNW micros.

Poured slightly hazy rust color, a bit of tan head and good lacing. Aroma is very mild, some earthy sweetness. Nice medium bodied smooth mouthfeel. Taste is mostly grass and caramel, a bit of roasty-ness. Lingering bitter finish.

Bomber poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of earthiness, toffee, burnt carmel and light pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, light toffee and hints of fruittiness and pine with a smooth dry moderatly bitter finish.

bottle gift from Mark. Opened it after a rough night of work. poured a copper color with malty aroma, not too much hops on the nose. Smooth hop taste though, with a medium body. An easy drinking ESB.

on tap @ Blind Tiger. Copper colored pour. Aromas of malts & PNW hops. Taste has a nice hop presence to go along with malt dominance. Very good ESB

Bomber I bought in January. Pours copper with a tan head. Nose is very nice, very sweet, and malty. Taste is very nicely malty with a hopped backbone. Usually I find this style boring but this is certainly tasty.
