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!

Bottle. Pours a very nice dark amber. Head is a thick white, but went down quick. Aroma is a bit of malt, but somewhat odd. Taste is more malt than I thought. Not bad, had a bit of an off taste I coundn’t place.

Pours a deep amber color with a puffy tan head leaves some lacing as it disappears. Nose is almost like sweet brown ales, no detectable hops. Medium bodied ale with a taste like sweet brown malt and only a small hop finish. A very good beer, but so much different from what I’ve come to expect when I see Pale Ale.

Bottle. Pours amber with an eggshell head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is earthy, malty, and hops. Flavor is pete and earth kind of like a scotch mixed with malt and hops. It’s well rounded in flavor and smooth on the tongue. I can say that the quality of the beer never disappoints, I can always enjoy one.
