Bottle. Amber, off-white creamy head. Grainy,salty sushi aroma. Soy sauce and wasabi, light roast. medium to light body. Brine aftertaste. Strange, but a pefect sushi-beer.

Sweet malt and some light hops in the aroma.Pours a medium copper with a medium off white head.Slight malt and a hint of hops in the flavor.Mouthfeel is a little thin with more of a slight sweet finish.

Pours copper with a white head. Smells of tea, roses, and earthy. Tastes lightly tart and cherry with some mellowing hops. Finish is of pepper ans spices.

Draft. Easy drinking. Mostly malt and caramel. Light on the bitterness. Solid and drinkable. Aroma is light and hints at floral hops and biscuity malts. Taste of caramel and a light bitterness. Soft on the palate with ample carbonation. Quiet, but enjoyable.

Bottle. Sweetish and dusty caramel nose with dark fruit, light orange, and malt. Clear amber body with a foamy, sticky tan head. Medium-bitter taste with mostly earthy caramel. Thin body, not quite watery, but not a ton of malt. Some chewy leafy notes. Medium-bitter aftertaste. Doesn’t strike my fancy.

Scarlet Lady should not have her nose up. This is a good ESB...not a great one. The pour was a orange/red with no head. The aroma was floral hoppy and not much else. The taste was a mild hoppiness with little to no malt to balance it out. While I liked this beer, I can tell Scarlett that I don’t give a damn.

Poured to a hazy orange-red, with mdium off-white head that lasted for a while and left okay lacing. Initial aroma was hoppy citrus (grapefruit) and floral. However, this dissipated and becme muted as the beer warmed. Flavor was likewise the hoppy floral, with a nice bitter palate, true to form. The dry, bitter finish was the best part of this beer for me.
