On tap at Redbones: Clear orange color with a thin white head. Light flowery hops aroma, smooth drinking without much carbonation, ends lightly bitter and crisp. Went great with BBQ.

reddish amber with a light lacy white head. Thick ass malts with some big hops to match. watery up front, some malts kick in and then the after taste is a ghost. Weird, i know this has alot of body to it, yet its got the body of an olsen twin as its so damn small i cant find it.

Draft. Coper penny in color, pure white head. Sweet and citrusy aroma, flavor is citrusy hops, sweet sugary malts, metallic note to the finish.

Pours a transparent copper orange with a frothy, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of floral, earthy mildly citrusy hoppy notes with a touch of sugary pale maltiness. Has a fairly full body for the style with a nice earthy caramel maltiness and some earthy citrusy hop balance. A pretty decent ESB.

Ruby pour light head and some lace. Lightly roasted malts, bitter hops, with citrus and some pine. Bitter hops, sweet malts, some caramel hints in the flavors. Nicely balanced between the malts and hops. The palate is fruity and hoppy and the finish is a touch bitter. I find this beer to be fairly well balanced. But that’s my opinion and I could be right.

Body is a nice amber with a loose off white head. Aroma is a sweet tea like smell, with a present hoppiness. Taste is pretty hoppy, of the floral variety, followed by a caramel background. Pretty straight forward, and good.

I hate typing in a rating after Clark...Pour is deep copper amber with a huge dense tan head...smell is hoppy with hints of pine, as well as bready sweet...taste is slightly sweet up front with that bread dough character coming through turning bitter, almost IPA bitter...not ESB bitter, but flavor wise this is a very malty beer...

Bottle. Clear copper color with a thin head and some lacing. Malt, grass, and a tea aroma. Very balanced, slightly grassy and tea like. Good ESB.
