on tap at HUB in Portland. Nice balance and muted flavors without being watery.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tap at Hopworks - pretty bland, this - a bit of sweet and toasty maltiness - light caramel a a dash of earthy hops - lightly buttery finish - a tiny bit of hard water character - not much happening here.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours pretty dark. Smells pretty floral, maybe a little chocolate. Taste is ok, pretty malty with caramel. Not bad.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask @ HUB Bike Bar. Clear amber pour with a minimal white head leaving moderate lace. Malty floral nose. Medium body and light carbonation. Clean malt body with singed caramel and biscuit, pine hops and a faint nutty bitterness. Finish is more of the same and fairly short and crisp. Very sessionable ESB with a touch more hops than you’d find in an English version.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a red/gold with off-white foam. Smells lightly malty. Tastes sweet and slightly bitter, reminiscent of a Scottish ale.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
A reddish copper ale with a thin creamy off white head. In aroma, a faint caramel malt with light BBQ notes. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with faint herbal hops, watery, underwhelming. On tap at the Bitter End, July 29 2011.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
I remember a nice malty sweetness and a faint bitter finish to go with a reddish color. That is about it.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft at BikeBar. Dark amber color. Tons of malt, but not enough balance. Pretty plain and average.
4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: DEC 10, 2011 On tap at Zach’s house. I kept going to the well with this beer again and again. I love it. It is easy drinking, a great British style beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample tray. Dark amber. Light head. LIght scent. Woodiness and warm malt flavour with some peachy notes.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Little on the aroma. Deep copper colored; clear with faint white head. Caramel malt provides a simple sweetness; rounded malt but lack of bitterness. Light in body and mouthfeel. Easy to drink but small on flavor.
