LinusStick (1830), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA 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. adoland (1), Reston, Virginia, USA does not count Nov 10, 2007 Pint at Pickels Pub in Emmaus, PA - delightful alternative to IPA. Disappointed at the $32 price for a case. KDorgan12 (163), Memphis, Tennessee, USA 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. portermax55 (118), Canterbury, Connecticut, USA 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. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA 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. clueo (112), Pennsylvania, USA 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! BrewDad (2363), Olympia, Washington, USA Oct 26, 2007 Taster - 99 Bottles - Federal Way, WA.
Aroma – Light malt no real hops aroma
Appearance – Copper, clear with a light head
Flavor – Light bitter with mild malts and light hops
Palate – Crisp, light a very mild ESB
Overall –Sorry missed the ESB boat. This was very mild to taste neded more bittering hops or time in the tanks with hops in them. Too fast to produce.
jrob21 (1250), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 22, 2007 Cloudy orange color with a quickly disappearing offwhite head. Faint funky aroma. Some earth and fruit aromas. Nutty smells as well. Some bitter hop flavors. The hops remind you of the style for sure. Slight sweetness. Would love some more malt to balance out the bitterness.
