Beautiful amber color pouring a nice head. Good malt, with some fruit in the aroma (kind of apri-citrus) but balanced with plenty of floral hops. I have not drank an ESB in some time but this is a very good ESB.

Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks Andy. The aroma was of citrus and subdued caramel with a hint of cherry. Poured a slightly hazy reddish-orange color with a thin off white head. Slightly sweet with mild hop bitterness that peaked toward the end. Smooth mouth feel with carbonation on the lower end of the spectrum. I tasted pale malt, light green vegetable, citrus fruits, and a hint of spruce.

Stud tasting 1.0 held at general gaos. Thanks for putting up with us colin! Amber pour with little head. Caramel and toffee aroma. Flavor is more toffee, some orange, earth, chocolate, and tangerines. Finishes mildly bitter, good carbonation. Opened up quite a bit when it warmed up, lots of citrus hops going on in this one.

Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a medium-sized, foamy, ivory-colored head. Smell: Toasty, biscuity maltiness with some caramel and even some spiciness slinking around. Taste: Toasted biscuits with a caramel sweetness and some grainy hints. Sip of clean spring water. Light fruitiness. Spicy, medium bitterness. Bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. A tad watery. Drinkability: An overall decent American-made ESB.
