Tap at the Steelhead Grill in Seattle. I’ve been looking for this beer for something like five years, and finally managed to just stumble upon it. Nice copper pour, decent head. Rich and proper ESB depth, fruity and enjoyable, with an abundant c-hop presence, leaving the beer both undeniably an ESB and at the same time decidedly a PacNW brew. Very good!

Tried at a tasting at Bottleworks a while back. Good old ESB with a lot of caramel malts to back up the nicely done bitter finish. Nothing wild.

on tap and cool little pizza place in seattle. Amber with a cream white head. Citrus hops and caramel mingle in the nose. Flavour is mostly about the malt, notes of caramel, licorice and breadiness, cascade type hop flavour dries out the finish. yum.

This is very drinkable. Nicely balanced mixture of a rich caramel malt, while using a more traditional hop background for the style giving it a unique English presence on the palate. Very crisp and clean with a slighty bittersweet finish.

A bomber of the 2006 brewer’s reserve. Very good and well malted ESB. Its for sipping and sharing. Golden amber colour. Smooth.Hoppy and piney aroma. This is a mix of hops, and while citrus, there is some British hop in here. Refreshing.Drying finish

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2006 22oz bomber: This was a surprise. I’ve never been a fan of their IPA, but this I like. Malty and sweet with that yummy American hop flavor.
