Nov 15, 2007 12 oz bottle from a six pack from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Poured into a conical pint. Pours a nice medium amber with a very apparent head that remains at about a fingers thickness. Smells of floral and grain. I definately second the "Bready" smell that eboats found (Even doughy). Reminds me of the brewhouse back at Flossmoor Station. No surprise, the taste is very malty. Finish is hoppy, although not fiercely so and the malty and caramel flavors remain on the finish and even dominate. Head clings to the glass but definately dissipates obviously. Not what I was looking for (More hops, please!) but a fairly balanced brew.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottled. Pours amber with a dirty white head. Aroma is a very pleasant citrus hop aroma, mostly grapefruit with some spices. Flavor was slightly hoppy citrus fruit, crisp, and breaded malt. The bread was very prominent in the flavor while the hops were in the aroma. Superbly balanced brew.

Nov 11, 2007 A fairly standard ESB. Aroma was light...hints of caramel malt. Pour was a light copper with a thin white ring for a head. Taste was very malty and thin..caramel and pale malts with just a hint of hops in the aftertaste after the swallow. Not very strong in any category.

Nov 10, 2007 Pint at Pickels Pub in Emmaus, PA - delightful alternative to IPA. Disappointed at the $32 price for a case.

Nov 10, 2007 Memphis-Bottle. This was a while back but I remember the surprising malt profile. The pale amber color and thin nose did not heed warning about the complexity that dwelled within.

Nov 5, 2007 12oz. bottle into pint glass. Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is heavy of grapefruit, lemon and hops. Flavor is of grass, lemon, and hops with a bitter aftertaste. Has a light, refreshing mouthfeel. Not bad.

Nov 1, 2007 Says in the description it is supposed to "have significant hops character." Failed to notice it signifcantly but it was there. But overall pretty good, nothing bad to say about it at all.

Oct 26, 2007 Nice light hoppy aroma with a nice dark amber color and a nice head. A great slightly bitter hoppy finish and a smooth aftertaste. I really enjoyed this beer!
