On tap at the brewery. A deep burnt amber color with a light tan head. Dissolves into a thickish rimming. The nose has a little yeasty apple scent and a light bitterness. The flavor is relatively mild. Some musty caramel and a touch of flowery hops peek through, though the actual bitterness is mild. A nice oily body. A decent, but not great ESB.

Jun 28, 2008 Another solid effort from Foothills. Smells malty as all get out, pretty well-balanced and all that. Had this at the Raleigh Mudcats game on Wednesday night.

May 27, 2008 Part of a draft sampler from the brewpub. Maroon with a small white head. Malt, yeast, and mild bitterness on the nose. Nicely blended sweet malts and citrus hops pushes this ESB closer to an IPA, which in my opinion is a good thing. Not a fan of this style, but this one’s pertty tasty.

May 11, 2008 Spicy, nutty, and floral. Prevalent carbonic bite. My least favorite of the sampler.

Apr 27, 2008 Had a big sample of this at the WBF thanks to Rich. I’m thinking this guy is a little underrated. Pours a nice copper amber. As is with all Foothills it puts forth a great hop profile in both the nose and flavor. Citrusy, nice balance, solid body. Another great beer by Foothills.
