COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The definitive E.S.B! A reddish beer of medium malt flavor coupled with a crisp dry hop finish. This beer is a hop-lovers dream. Dry hopped with Chinooks, one of the strongest finishing hops available. Original Gravity: 13.0° Plato, I.B.U.: 41

Medium brown color. Small head. Aroma is malts with a hint of orange. Very nice effect. A medium bodied ESB. Malts are nutty with hint of orange peel. Hops are citrusy and spicy. A well balanced ESB, toward the bitter hoppy side. Hoppy and spicy and very smooth. Aftertaste is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter

Clear reddish golden with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Tastes of toasted cereal grain oats and lactose with an earthy finish and a soft palate. Light bitterness throughout.

Bart (2324) - Brussels, BELGIUM - SEP 12, 2010
Light brown coloured beer with some very light carbonation with a very short white head. Bitter touched hoppy aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is light bitter and wattery hoppy hinted. Rather short dry bitter ending but misses some character. Nevertheless my favorite brew at Flagstaff.

hazy reddish amber with a thin whitish head. smells like dirt... i’m starting to see a trend in hopping. might be the hippies though. floral nose mixes with earth, spicy hops, caramel and orange peels. the flavor is a richer version of the same with a little bit of astringency on a dry finish. the body is medium though it feels a bit thicker than the typical esb. 6.5/4/6.5/3/14/3.4

decaturstevo (3385) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - APR 13, 2009
A dark amber pour with off white head and lace. Caramel malt and a hint of sour, and earthy hops. Caramel malt and the same hint of sour followed by a very light bitter and a yeastiness. Medium bodied with aggressive carbonation. This day was not this beers best day.

BOLTZ7555 (1909) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - MAR 29, 2009
On tap @ FBC. Crystal clear burnt orange/fiery amber body with good carbonation that produces a solid ivory head. Delicate lacing clung to the glass. Flavor is caramel, fruit, and honey covered buttermilk biscuit. Aroma is quite fruity and sweet. Pretty damn good beer.

draft at the brewpub - Pours copper with a lingering head that leaves excellent lacing. It smells of fruity, bready malt. The flavor is moderately hopped with a touch of fruit. It finishes dry and bitter.
