Jan 7, 2007 Bomber from Liquid Solutions. The aroma is lightly sweet malt, but it’s dry with some bready/toasty notes. The body is copper/orange and holds a slowly diminishing thumb thick tan head that is fairly craggy atop.
<P>
Bready, doughy first sip is just very slightly sweet. Nice hop profile gives it a dose of bitterness. Full, creamy mouthfeel. Not sure that it really fits the style, but it’s not a style I have much experience with so I can only say I like it.

Jan 4, 2007 Not sure where I got this one,Demolayfire I think. Pours a copper color with plenty of off whiye foamy head. Nose is light on the hops and then a blend of some kind of toast with jam on it. Nice brew and just a bit light on the palate.

Dec 21, 2006 Bottle. Pours clear dark orange with spare white frothy head, mostly diminishing, spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (cereal, bread), light hops (grass), average yeast (cheese, dough) with notes of honey. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness, metallic. Medium bodied, creamy texture, flat carbonation, chalky finish. Not very representative of a the style but an acceptable brew.

Oct 28, 2006 Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a medium/dark amber color with a little bit of sediment floating around. Slightly sweet citric hoppy aroma. English hoppiness. A little malt and dark fruit. Smooth silky mouthfeel. Nice citric hoppy bite rounded out by a mellow woody character. Very good ESB.

Oct 22, 2006 22 oz. bottle via trade with Ty5592 - Pours an amber color with a small off white head that faded some what quickly. Has a fruit and toasty malt aroma. Flavor is caramel malt and esters with a sharp bitter finish. Thin palate. Light to medium body. Not bad. Thanks Ty.

Oct 18, 2006 On tap at Elysian, Seatte. Red/brown with thin beige. Earthy hop aroma. Lots of hop. Some good malt but then a huge chunk of hop on end. The 3 Cs I guess. Nice, but my god, the hops.
