<i>Bottled. </i> Hazy amber with rich head. Lovely fresh hoppy citrus aroma. Light-medium bodied with crisp malt character, but cookie malt distinguishes it from most American Pale Ales. Hops dominate thoroughly. Aromatic and resiny with bergamott and and grapefruit - this is way more US West Coast style than English. The malt character however is more inviting than most American microbrews, making it a more multifacetted beer. Long, resiny bitter finish. The best new Sierra Nevada beer I had in many years!

Nov 28, 2008 Not really anywhere near an actual English ESB. Overall, nothing really stood out.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich copper color with slight off white head. Smells hoppy and sweet. Tastes like bread grains, sweet malts, bittersweet hops, a little sugary. Very good.

Rich, malty beer, full of grainy flavour. Ending up in a dry, well hopped finish. Very nice.
