May 7, 2006 PoursCopper orange with moderate off white head. Nose has a fruity and hop-like character. Sweet with a splash of cirtus. Medium body with mild caramel malt flavor. Slight bitter finish. Not a great example of an ESB.

May 2, 2006 Organic. Is that supposed to mean something? Isn’t all beer organic? I prefer my beer to be orgasmic, as in a lustful and bawdy experience. This wasn’t. A copper body under a fast exiting white head gave off aromas of bread dough, citrus zest, caramel malts. Light carbonation in a medium body with a thin texture. The flavor was on the level of mass produced brews.

Apr 30, 2006 Large foamy, frothy head. Mild aroma of hops and maybe some pine and malt. Aroma is soft though. Hazy coppery colr. Lively carbonation. Soft hop finish. Taste is maybe a hint of sour but finishes hoppy.

Apr 29, 2006 Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is slightly malty but you have to really get your nose in there. Flavor is of light hops and even lighter malts. Everything about this brew is bland and watered down. Look for better of the style.

Apr 19, 2006 Copper color with off-white head. Very little nose, maybe a touch of wheat. Taste comes off with a touch of clover, wheat, dust... maybe some caramel and oats.

Mar 31, 2006 The aroma has some caramel malt with herbal hops and basement aromas that must be from the yeast. The appearance is a typical tan/gold that goes along with being an ESB. The head is a medium size. The flavor is a little sour up front but the caramel malt and bitter hops that arrive in the end keep the taste profile interesting but not great. The palate is average. This is one of those beers that is not bad but not really that good either.

Mar 26, 2006 Light almost a pilsner poor with a small head. I’m always a sucker for these organic brews and usually disapointed but this was better than most. A bit light but with a nice bitter finish.

Mar 3, 2006 From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a notched bottled date on side of front label, 4th week/Dec. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear honey golden with a small foamy, bubbly white head that reduced to a thin bubbly lacing. Had a nice aroma, a grassy/lemony hoppiness, a little earthy and a biscuity maltiness with some faint caramel notes as well. Moderate carbonation and a watery medium bodied mouth feel, below average drinkability. An ESB with no bitterness? Had a watery grassy/lemony taste, no hop bitterness and a watery bland maltiness, not bready, not quite caramel, just bland, with a sour lemony finish.
This was a disappointment, not a very good ESB, watery and off tasting.
