Elysian The Wise ESB

Cloudy amber color,small but long lived white head.The aroma was fruity with some hints of pine and citrus.The flavor was pretty common but decent enough,nice light malt taste with a bit of an upfront sweetness to go with the citrus and hops but quickly changes to a slightly bitter side with a fairly smooth going down.Not overly well done but decent enough to have a few more.

Mahogony and hazy with a small tan frothy head. Cookie and toast aromas, medium bodied and crisp on the tongue with long lingering hops really to the level of an IPA.

from 22 0z. bottle purchased at Sam’s Liquor in Chicago. The bottle on display was still chilled from just coming out of the cooler. Poured a dark copper color with a nice fluffy whitish tan head. Nice lacing down an imperial pint glass. Fresh hop aroma. A bit more bitter than, say, a Fuller’s ESB, and then maybe too bitter for the style, but not a deal breaqker. Nice fresh hop flavor. This must have been a fresh batch. Noticable carmel flavor with a tea note in the end. I wonder what this would taste like if they tuned down the bitterness and used UK varietal hops.

Cloudy amber pour with a thin white head. Good aroma and flavor of floral and fruity hops with caramel malt and a strong bitter finish. While having nothing really special this ESB does the job.

ok, this is my first ESB. So I am rating this as to how I like it, not how good of an ESB it is. Good size head that leaves a LOT of lace, even 20 minutes after pouring. The color is a very very hazy somehwhat dark amber. The aroma is very fruity, lemon,grapefruit,apple...not sure...but definately fruity and hoppy! I like the taste,. this is definately on the spicy hoppy side of the spectrum. II imagine for an ESB style, that this should be considered well-done. Will have to try more ESB’s.

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

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.

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.
