COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This English-style Ale is medium-bodied, with a rich bronze color and truly authentic E.S.B. malt and hop character. The taste is long on malt flavor with hints of sweet caramel and toffee. This delicious ale also displays a wonderful balance between the yeast’s natural fruitiness and the hop’s fresh herbal quality. Captain Ingalls is known for having surveyed the Blewett Pass area in the Cascade Mountains. According to legend, he discovered a “Mother Load” gold vein and marked it for later mining, only to have an earthquake bury it forever. Some say you can still see the Captain wandering up there looking for his gold.

Draft at the brewpub. This beer is most certainly not retired, as the keg they were tapped from this afternoon was most definitely not aged. Crystal clear dark amber with very little gray rim. Slightly floral, maybe berry-like nose. Medium body, lively carb. Biscuity, toasty mid-palate. Nice resiny finish.

On tap at the Sunnyside Mcmenamins as a guest tap. This esb was very smokey, really clashed against the hops and light fruity malts up front. Pours a darker copper with a fast falling off-white head. I’m just not a fan of the smoked flavor in this brew.

Red with a solid white head. Very smooth and creamy until a woody charred flavor emerges, cherries and burnt wood in the finish. Quite good.

RBSG 2004: Earthy lemon aroma floating out of a clear orange body with a small white head. Lightly bitter with a medium body.

BillKismet (2762) - Seattle, Washington, USA - FEB 11, 2002
Perfect amber pint with the perfect head as well. Typical ESB bittermess and a boilerplate version of the style, but inferior to other Pacific NW ESB’s, such as Redhook.
