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.

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.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottle to pint glass. Darker amber colored. Pours nearly headless. The head looks equivalent to a guy who has splotchy facial hair. It has potential in random spots, but is non existent in others. Not the most aromatic beer, with weaker smells of hops, wildflowers, and maybe a citrus. Even more subtle smells of malt and roasted light grains. The flavor is equally unimpressive. Hops are present, but with an almost watered down quality. Maybe a taste of some light fleshed fruit, pear for example? For an ESB, it is neither special nor bitter, thus certainly not extra of either.

Dec 13, 2008 Large, long-lasting head with exquisite lacing; spicy, floral hops; toasted caramel and chocolate malts; hop contribution is balanced; abidingly smooth; an all-around good example of the style; sessionable.

Dec 8, 2008 Nice deep copper pour. Aroma is malty and rich, with flavor to match. Not overpowered by hops though. Nice ESB style ale.

Dec 7, 2008 Well, this is better than their brown ale, which stunk. This had some fruity maltiness, getting a little Cambells chicken noodle soup, roastiness, and moderate bitterness. OK.

Nov 29, 2008 pours a copper colour with a thin to medium off white head. Aroma is apple and light lemony citrus. Plenty of medium roast maltiness, lots of caramel.
Flavour is good medium sweet malt, plenty of caramel, a little thin on the palate though.
Light bitterness in the finish.

Nov 28, 2008 I had this a few weeks ago during the RB down-time. Murky brown bodied ale with thin head. Earthy, horse hair-blanket flavors over power the toasted caramel bitterness. Sediment in the bottom of the bottle sampled...maybe this was "too long in the tooth".
