Pours mahogany/copper with a tan head. Smells of spice, wildflowers, hay. Tastes of roses, earthy, some pepper, some sweetness on the finish.

"Mildly hazy orangey-brown body caped with a tall brown crown. Notable hops in the nose, some sweetness that’s about it. Doesn’t smell bad at all just so dam mild. Sweet malty taste with a mild bitter finish. Some watermelon, mild coffee, wood, nuts, and nice hop presence that’s not over done like a lot of Rogue beers. Beer is over all clean tasting but there is a touch of a metallic after taste. Good brew would drink again."

Tap at Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Great ESB. Dark amber color with an off-white head. Malty aroma with some English-style hop bitterness. Flavor is bready sweet caramel malt balanced with nice Kent Goldings on the finish. Medium body, high drinkability.

This is a nice beer with a rich yet subtle malt profile focused mostly on the bready and biscuity flavors traditionally associated with an ESB. Good hops, well balanced nice woody and earthy aromas followed by a nice spicy flavor that fits well into this classic English style.

Light red pour with an off white head. Aroma is of malts and hops. Some bitterness and hops at first, then some sweetness and spiciness. You can taste the hops in the background. Laced the glass.

Bottle. Amber pour with a white head. Aroma hefty with caramel and a little bit of grain. Flavor is bitter with a solid hop snap and a malt profile that is pretty tasty. Not a bad ESB at all.

[1905-20081214] 1pt6floz bottle. Leafy hops aroma has a bit of grains. Clear, orange amber body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. More leafy hops in the flavour with mild bitter wood hints. Medium body is mildly bitter. Quite drinkable and repeatable.
