12oz bottle. Pours copper/amber, with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma is mainly sweet malt, with some floral hop accents and some yeast. Moderate earthy hops take the forefront on the palate, with balance from caramel malt. Nice ESB.

Aug 11, 2008 Smooth and mildly oily on the palate. Good beery and yeast aroma without any ill tempered alfactory. Lots of personality right from the start on the tongue. Tries to become acridly bitter but just never gets there. Finish is bitter, like bitter medicine and lingers for quite a while. You can really feel the hops in this one. Ignites emotions from within.

Aug 11, 2008 This is the best esb ive had to date. Great aroma of high hops with a beautiful color and lacing of the glass. Tasted bitter but smooth the whole way down. Great lakes does it again.

Aug 10, 2008 Small white head on this one. Rich golden color. Flowery aroma with a hint of hops. Sweet and spicy flavor with a creamy mouthfeel. Flavor of hops gets stronger as you work your way through the glass. A nice beer for spring.
