Nov 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber/copper with little head. Aroma was a little funky... I couldn’t quite figure out what was wrong with it but the taste was significantly better than the smell. Malty and hoppy character. Nice beer

Nov 4, 2009 coppery color with almost no haze. head settles to thin veil after a minute. looks about like an ESB should.
Apple and graham cracker aroma.
Creamy smooth mouthfeel - could be grittier.
Crisp grains and hops jump out first
moderate bitterness with tart mineral finish.
Well balanced consistent product. retains thin veil of head throuout.
One of my favorite ESB’s.

Oct 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours copper in colour, with fairly thin head. Aroma is sweet, like caramel. Taste is also lightly sweet, with mild bitter hoppy finish. Very enjoyable!

Oct 21, 2009 Copper color, white foam. The aroma is bread and butter, floral hops, caramel. Decent. The flavor is pine and citrus hops, caramel, bread and butter again. Pretty good overall. Piney hops finish. Medium mouthfeel. Not great by any measure, but decent and enjoyable.

Oct 20, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Deep copper color with a foamy, off-white head.
Aroma: A malty "bitter" nose with a hint of sourness and butter in there.
Flavor: Malty at first with a touch of caramel. This is replaced with a decent back bitterness that lingers on the tongue.
Palate: Medium-high, aggressive carbonation with a medium, dry mouthfeel and a medium-short, bitter, then clean finish.
Overall: An okay ESB that is just a bit short in the flavor and palate departments. Nothing special here.
