Feb 18, 2007 Bought at Capones in Norristown. Pours copper with a slight haze. Biscuit and earthy hop aroma. Sweet flavor but not cloying or sticky..clean with a good hop balance. Caramel malts and nutty flavor like a toasted victory malt followed by a nice mellow spicy hop finish. Very nicely balanced.

Sep 24, 2007 Updated: Nov 4, 2007Bottle. Amber/orange color. Head is about 3 centimeters and creamy, but fades after a couple of minutes. The color of the head is off-white. Good lacing.
Smells of fruity/citrus hoppiness, apricot, sweet caramel and some yesty sourness. I really like the smell of cascade hops. The taste is fruity, mostly citrus, but also some more sweet fruits and caramel/toffee. Nice smooth finish with moderate bitterness.
Medium body and light carbonation.
High drinkability and a good session ale. One more please!

Feb 9, 2008 brown/orange in color, minimal frothy head. hazy. nose of hops and grapes. smells quite pleasing to me. surprisingly smooth. the initial taste was intimidating but it smoothed out great. tasted to me, as if an apricot got into a fist fight with a grape. really enjoyed the flavor. not as bitter as i was expecting as this was my first ESB. very pleasing.

Jan 20, 2008 Draft. Pours deep amber/prange with a white head that quickly dissapates. Flavor is nice hoppy with an orange citrus background. A nice ESB.

May 28, 2008 Now these folks know how to brew a bitter. First sip and I thought I was back in the Midlands holding a real pint of beer. Great balance between the hops and malt that cleanses the palate on every sip. Great deep bronze color and tan head that laces to the bottom. I’ll keep some of this around. I’d love to find it on tap somewhere in Nashville.

Mar 29, 2009 Poured from bottle. I smell caramel, vanilla ice cream. Clear amber, persistent tan head. Malts beat out hops in the flavor, giving a nice creamy feel with a hop aftertaste. Will not be confused with an IPA. Low carbonation gives it a smooth feel. Finished nicely. Unique and good.

Nov 9, 2002 Soft round, aromatic and drinkable. Great tasting over a broad range of temperatures. A tasty and refreshing companion to sweet or oily foods.

Apr 30, 2002 I often fail to follow a basic rule of rating -- make sure the beer is at the right temperature. I was all set to give this beer a fairly low score, but then, when it got warm enough, it improved dramatically. Copper filtered body with no head. The aroma is grapefruit/pine. The flavor is the same, and unlike others, i taste primarily hops (not that it’s unbalanced). Goes down with a pleasant bitterness.
