On tap at Archive Beer Boutique. There was a lot of malty caramel aromas coming from this beer and it poured a light brown to amber colour. The flavour was full of nutty biscuit and roasted malt. A good beer with an easy drinking quality to it.

Very floral nose w/a touch of caramel underneath, but very hidden. Taste is also very floral w/some citrus (orange) and a a bit of bready notes mixing their way in the end. Nice medium body with a crisp finish. Good beer, but seems to be lacking a bit for the style.

Ughsmash (6723) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 25, 2012
Bomber. Poured medium golden with a short, sticky whitish head. The aroma picked up orange and earthy hoppage over soft bread and biscuity malts.. nice balance. The flavor found semi-sweet bread and nutty sweetness at the core.. pine, orange, and earthy bitterness around.. finished moderately bitter with more orange and earth. Light-medium bodied with higher carbonation on the palate.. OK, non-engaging feel.. drinkable.

laiti (4016) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUL 22, 2012
Draught @ the brewpub as ”Moylans ESB”. Rated on 21.07.2012
Aroma has sweet toffee, some caramel and hints of hops. Flavour is fruity with some english toffee and hints of hops. Rather refreshing, although the English feeling does not fit completely to the picture.

Nice looking smooth beer, but tastes a bit flat - it could do with a bit more flavour.

On tap at the Davis Brewfest. Pours clear yellow with a large white head and a light floral aroma. There is a nice light malt flavor with a slightly bitter finish.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2012 On tap at the Brillobox. Nitro with nice foamy head, settled to golden fairly quickly, nice mello malts but had a distinctive acidity on the tongue. A little distracting. August On tap at Mad Mex also Nitro. Still a nic ebeer. not as acidic

Nitro tap at Moylans. Light orange pour with a smaller white nitro head. Light and creamy palate. Pale malts and just a hint of hop in this. Fun brew.

rangerred (675) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - MAY 12, 2012
22oz bomber poured into a pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy light copper with a one finger white head. Smells of piny hops along with a decent amount of citrus. A little bit of toasted malt too. Toasted, bready malt up front followed almost immediately by a sharp citrus tartness that I found very odd. Almost lemon/lime like. It brings a sweetness that verges on being cloying. Light bitterness with a sticky finish. Mouthfeel is quite watery. Overall this is not an enjoyable beer. The citric tartness makes no sense at all and makes this beer hard to drink. Not something I would want to drink again.
