Bottle: Amber color and fruitful nose. Nice light tan head with fair lacing. A very floral fruity taste with a nice hint of malt

Deep amber red color with a smallish head. Malty light easy going taste with some fruity and hoppiness there also. Real easy going beer that you can sit down and have a few of.

Pretty good beer, but not quite up to their usual level. The color is a little darker than most Pale Ales I’ve tried. It does have a nice foamy tan head and a lot of lace on the glass. The aroma is mild. Not as hoppy as other Pale Ales. I get some malt and spices in the flavor with a hoppy finish accompanied with a shot of sour fruits. Decent.

Bottle. Golden copper, thick head. Faint malt aroma. Fruity caramel flavour. Somewhat watery, weak finish.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange amber, off white head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, pine, port. Flavor is the same with a malty and bitter finish. On the bread side and sweet. Decent and well blended; I feel like this sets a respectable pace for ESBs.

arima is faint, sweet malt and apples. taste is a little bland but a good level of malt. its pretty dry, and it leaves a little tingle on the top of your tongue. very easy to drink

Very good pale ale. It pours a rich amber color with a big off white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Taste is pretty similar to the smell. Hops are barely noticeable. Good stuff!
