Cloudy amber color with off-white head. Aroma dominated by malts. So is the taste. Hops jump in behind the malt to bitter-up the flavor, though the bitterness doesn’t linger long. Leans toward the sweet side, but avoids a syrupy mouthfeel. Medium to thin body, clean sipping. A nice, refreshing bitter.

Bottled. RBESG -05. Amber colour. Rich hop aroma and flavour, though not on the citrusy side. Dry mouthfeel.

Amber coloured with a thick white head. Hoppy, flowery orange nose with a small alcoholic hint. Dry mouthfeel. Sweet, refreshing hoppy flavour. Slight fruity. Flavour fades away quickly though.....too bad, since it´s wonderful. Great bitter finish.

Bottle 12 oz. Brown color with full off-white head that diminished slowly. Roasted malt aroma. Medium body. Well balanced malt flavor with a medium pleasing bitter finish. Very enjoyable drinkable brew.

I liked everything about this beer: the bottle, the logo, the name - to say nothing of the attractive amber colour and frothy off-white head and lacing, the glorious floral aroma, the malty taste with citrus and other fruits and the satisfying bitter finish. Class act.

This is a fine beer. Deep amber wirh a full, frothy, off white head with a load of lace. A toasted aroma with a hint of sourwood honey. Taste includes some pine and grapefruit. Malty sweet, but balanced by lingering bitterness. fine

This is a pleasant ESB, not as strong as the Brutal Bitter. Appearance is brown with a nice, thick head. Nice mild bitter with a taste that is dominated by malt flavors. Easy to drink, makes for a decent session beer.
