Draft at the Rogue pub in San Francisco. Amber with creamy head. Smooth, light citrus notes, bitter. Zesty citrus aroma. A good English-style bitter, a session beer.

Sample tasting at the brewery: Pours dark yellow, light amber. Aroma is light hop and malts. Taste is salty with a bitter finish. Bubbly and astringent. Slight pine flavoer, good flavor overally just kind of plain.

Bomber. Total gusher. Hazy reddish orange pour with a foamy head. English and citrus hops, some dusty earthy malts. Decent brew.

Changed (305) - Ithaca, New York, USA - AUG 17, 2012
20oz, asked for 10, @ Horse Brass-- oh well, it’s good. Pours clear amber, white head, foamy lacing. Aroma is caramel sweetness and some hops. Flavor is the same. Bitterness on the end, creamy mouthfeel. A nice English style brew

PhillyCraft (2125) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 4, 2012
On tap, pours hazy amber with creamy off white head. Aromas of tangerine, caramel, bread, Taste is filled with crystal and sweet caramel malts, some pine and orange also present from the moderately bitter hopping. Medium bodied. Again, this isnt my favorite type of beer but it tasted pretty good on draft.

Light aroma with some fruits and hay. Flavour is somewhat fruity with some hay and english hops. Dry, hoppy finish with some nuts. Quite typical cask ESB.

reebtogi (3388) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 13, 2012
750ml capped ceramic bottle pours a golden orange color with a 2 finger white head that settles to reveal some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is caramel and earthy hops. Taste is a nice caramel malty sweetness coexisting with a wonderful earthy and citrusy hop bitterness. A very nicely done English style bitter that begs to be tasted.

Hazy Dark orange. Little tan head. Sweet honey type aroma. Light bitterness. Nice tasty. Doesn't linger. Has body of a light meal. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
