MOboy (446), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Jan 1, 2009 nose that is biscuity and slightly hoppy. Copper appearance with a thin, wispy head. Flavor of bread and hop citrus with a dry, well carbonated palate. ESB? Me thinks not. More of an American Amber Ale. jeff789 (357), Pennsylvania, USA Dec 27, 2008 Amber/Brown pour with a smallish head that quickly fades, very limited lacing... Slightly sweet, subtle earthy hops...I agree that the malts are a bit too sweet, but by and by a good example... riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Dec 24, 2008 Brownish orange pour with a nice lasting head and some good lacing. The aroma is pretty sweet and malty, some caramel, toast, chocolate perhaps. Hops are somewhat earthy and sweet - I guess that would be grassy. THe flavor is sweet and malty with a grassy pepper hop finish. I thought the malt profile was too sweet, the finish was decent and bitter though. Eh whatever. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Dec 24, 2008 Dark caramel orange brown with a finger of creamy off white head that sits nicely for a while. Big caramel malt, sweet and sticky on the nose. Taste is more an amber than ESB with mostly caramel malt and a light herbal bitterness. bretupdegraff (172), Fishers, Indiana, USA Dec 20, 2008 hazy copper pour with a mile white head that quickly disapeared. Aroma of Carmel and chocolate maybe some florals - very malty aroma - taste was grassy and bitter - not a bad flavor - very drinkable - not my favorite style but good nontheless. bblack99 (195), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Dec 19, 2008 Bright, copper pour with a nice fluffy head in a tall hefeweizen glass. Great citrus flavor balanced by a bit of spice and bite. Nothing earth-shattering, but a tasty beer nonetheless.
