On tap at the brewery. Awesome mashed grain aromas. Sweet and raw maltiness. Honey and floral hops, orange blossoms and buckwheat. Nice aroma. Light golden amber clear with lacing off-white head. Medium watery body with light medium carbonation. Smooth malt flavor and roasted malts. Mild caramel and biscuit, light nutty sweetness throughout with mild bitter hoppy finish. Quite a session for sure - very smooth and very drinkable. A nice bitter and lasting bitter after.

Mar 31, 2008 On draft at brewpub. Poured copper gold in color with a creamy white head. Decent lacing left on glass. Aroma of honey, floral and citrus hops, and caramel malt. Taste is of caramel malts, mild honey sweetness with a nice floral hop bitterness in the finish. Very nice ESB... maybe my favorite for the style.

Jan 6, 2008 Good, but nothing too special. The typical taste for a bitter. Medium bodied and easily drinkable. Some hoppiness and a light bitterness. Some caramel malt sweetness. Light finish.

Nov 23, 2007 Cask, Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. Pours a hazy, orangish-brown color; off-white head with solid retention and lacing. Plenty of biscuity malts and oily noble hops in the aroma; pleasant. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of oily hops and biscuity, chewy malts; excellent, generous ESB with a resiny hop profile, like a light-bodied barleywine. Medium, dried red fruit and biscuity malts in the finish; lightly bitter.

Sep 29, 2007 Draft at the brewery. Cloudy honey amber colored body, with s thick, fine-bubbled tan head. Sweet and resinous pine sap hop nose, with some heavy fruity (sugar) and dough notes. Very malty, very full and rich and sweet, but also clean and crisp in the back. Oily in the finish, with some high bitterness but also some sticky, sweet pear and pine needle flavors. Finish is exceptionally sweet, that needs to be mentioned, with oily fruit sugars. Fresh flavor, overall, maybe some walnut and apple cider notes as well. Very interesting, and it’s always nice to have a one-hop beer, just to help get a better picture of the hop.
