(cask) deep amber with nice head and nice lace. Light hops/malt aroma. Flavor is biscuit malt with some floral hops. Great cask mouthfeel.

Draft. Amber with a thin head. Light hoppy aroma with a hint of malt. Very well balanced flavor, with floral hops and bready/biscuity malt. Light sweetness and a hint of earthiness. Pretty good.

Draft, at Nodding Head on 7/24/09. Pours brownish-amber, topped with a small off-white head. Aroma is nice and a bit hop-forward, with notes of citrus nicely balanced by toffee, caramel, and fruit. Flavor exhibits nice balance as well; with good interplay between toffee, caramel, lemon and grapefruit. Citrus lingers on the palate. Very tasty, and quite easy to drink.

(10/19/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Philadelphia. Clear amber color. Aroma of hops with some grapefruit and lemon hints. flavor has nice hoppy tones with some peach and citrus, and a malty, a bit biscuity, background, with some caramel. A bitter finish with some earthy hop notes. Medium-bodied. Pleasant.

Draft - part of sampler at brewery. Pours a orange/red/amber color with a 1+ finger white head. Aroma is floral, citrus, dough and a little caramel. Flavor is mild malts with a nice dose of floral & citrus hops. Probably my favorite of the sampler. Very drinkable. Could session this quite nicely.

Draft pint at the brewpub. Reddish amber with a slightly sticky top. Caramel aroma. Tangy and tart, this is a well balanced, predominately caramel but with a nice tart hop bite. Very nice ESB. (#3190, 11/9/2007)
