May 24, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of toasty caramel malts and a touch of English hops. Body start fairly full and caramely sweet with a good balance of English malts and bitterness before a smooth, drinkable finish. A true to style and enjoyable ESB. I’d love to try this on cask.

Apr 25, 2007 Tap @ Bittercreek: Pours an amber color with light white head and very nice lacing. The nose is fresh and hoppy with a sweet malty nose, some plum and molasses along with the obligatory pine and citrus fruit from the hops. The flavor is creamy, as malty as I expected, and packing enough hops to barely bring up the bitterness to the right level. Finishes clean, sweet and malty. Nice beer. I’m still always impressed with laughing dog and their solid malt foundation.
