Clear Orange in color with a tan head. Hoppy aroma. American hops. Some caramel notes. Well balanced beer.

12 oz bottle. Clear orange with a nice tan head. Aroma is hoppy with carmel malty hints. Flavor is full of hops, balanced with a full chewey malt. An American ESB, I guess.

Slightly buttery, faint hop aroma. Not much of a head. Good solid flavor, earthy hops and butter backed up with a nice heavy mouthfeel.

A brownish red appearance with little head. Flavor was slightly bitter with some caramel and oranges. Palate was a little thin. Overall this was pretty good and good representation of an English bitter.

Brownish-red color; aroma and flavor of grapefruit and malts; nicely hopped. Enjoyable brew.

Medium malt and hops, but little to none of the citrus from hops (maybe a bit of grapefruit). No head really... Nice color though, medium to dark amber. Gets better as it warms. I had some curry and came back to it and it improved a lot from the warming and the curry mingling. Floral scent/flavor comes forward as it warms. Not one of my favorites from the rogue folks.

Amber, with a small but fluffy head. Slightly citrus scented, but not overwhelming. A nice, stereotypical ESB flavor- it's above average, but not fantastic.

Bottle. Reddish amber classic "bitter" color. Has a homemade stale bread aroma with some floral hops. Creamy white head with very persistent lacing. Taste hits you with sweet caramelly malts and ample hop bitterness. Not too complex-thank god. a little fruity. Umm, sweet Goldings. Straightforward special bitter that is highly drinkable.
