Prostman (1075), Pennsylvania, USA Feb 1, 2008 I love the balance of this beer. I could drink this all day! This and the pale ale would make great summer concert beers! BigBen2120 (503), Gardiner(52 miles from Allagash), Maine, USA Mar 14, 2008 12oz bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a slightly hazy deep amber-red body with around an inch of off-white head. Grapfruit is a strong presence in the aroma, along with a fair bit of caramel malt. Tastes like a fine balance of citrusy American hops and some caramel and biscuit malt - overall sweet. Medium bodied with a fair bit of carbonation to make this beer more refreshing than it may otherwise be. Extremely tasty and pleasant. While different than any other example of the style (and may not exemplify what I look for from the style) but this is definitely one of the best beers I’ve had in quite some time. Very impressed. Braudog (3454), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Mar 2, 2008 Bottle: Pours a nice golden brown color with a big sticky head that dwindles down to a stoic 1/4 inch. The aroma is grassy, fruity and robust. The beer drinks with a very nice British malt undertow, topped with a unique pairing of American hoppiness. I love this marriage in a delicious brew. (#3340, 3/2/2008) obxdude10 (1371), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 21, 2008 A fantastic ESB, hazy orange color, very generous off-white head, great balance in the aroma with lots of hops and sweet maltiness, also notes of orange peel & yeast in the nose, very well-rounded & delicous flavors with lots of spiciness, flavors of bread, orange, coriander & of course abrasive hops, spicy, dry & rich finish & aftertaste, extremely delicious brew
doboy (16), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Jan 18, 2008 A nice seasonal from SN. this is a dark blonde beer that has a nice head. Malty on the front end, hoppy on the back. Would be a good session beer, great Super Bowl Beer!
