Lightly sweet fruity aroma, some floral hops. Pours amber with a creamy white head from the nitro. Lightly toasty, sweet, and fruity flavors with a mild hop bite in the finish.

clear red-amber with long-lasting white head. a little flat int he mouth (nitro). A little skunky but in the positive way, honey-sh malt with distant smoke

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear amber with a creamy white head that leaves sheets of lace, due to being a nitro pour. Light body, and a light, vacant taste. A bit of butterscotch on the dry finish.

8/19/2007: North Fork ESB is an orangy-amber color. Its dense, off-white head is long-lasting and leaves thick, solid lacing very much like a beer induced with nitrogen might leave. The aroma is creamy and buttery. The flavor has vanilla, a butter toffee maltiness, and a mellow bitterness that is slightly citrusy and herbal. This ESB is nicely balanced overall and has a medium body with creamy and mellow texture.

Draught sample at The North Fork Brewery - Pizzeria - Beer Shrine in Deming, Washington. Rating #8 for this beer...

Draught at the brewpub. Clear nut brown. Grassy nose. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel and notes of ash. Spicy bitterness. The malt character is simplistic and way too hard to be pleasant.

Hazy brick colour. Toasty, caramelly aroma and palate. Sligtht earthiness and phenols. Rather poorly developed flavour profile. Sort of fizzy, which isn’t normal in their beers. Not up to their usually high standards. As it seemingly wasn’t much when mjames visited and it is low season at North Fork, I wonder if this beer hasn’t been sitting around too long. I’ll give this another shot in winter.

Draft at the brewery
Murky brown color, some orange hues as well. Flavor is crisp and light, while the body is still a little thick. Hoppy, sweet lemons, starchy, and a little sour with a grain and husk flavor of corn cobs and hay. Not so good, but drinkable. The nose has some corn, but also some banana and grapes.

Rich red color, a huge full malt flavor, with some plastic and caramel. Why are so many of their beers why too malty?
