Apr 2, 2008 This is a really promising brewery and they made a great beer out of a style I find often to be a bit bland at most times. Cask Conditioned... Poured dark red with a soapy, white head. Not much aroma, just some faint malt. Smooth and bread like hops that give way to mild malt and a soapy aftertaste.

Apr 1, 2008 Light copper-amber body with a small white head. Lots of lacing. Nutty, crisp, and creamy nose. Mouth feel smooth and balanced. Clean and fruity. Not too eventful, but pretty enjoyable.

Mar 27, 2008 On tap at HUB. Poured a brilliant amber with light tan head. Decent bitterness but could stand more for the style, but my palate may have been blown by that point. A solid ESB.
