Draft. Pours copper with small head. Smell is minimal and taste is medium bitter. Overall solid.

Pours darker amber with a tan head. Aroma is florals, citrus, caramel and nutty. Taste is sweet with medium bitters and a little earthy. Very refreshing and easy to drink with a crisp finish.

Orange red with a off white head. Aroma is of toasted malts, dark fruit, yeast, hops, and

In a growler from Victory, ruby tan in color, hoppy malt clover with a malt finish. Very good beer.

Pours a clear bright amber with a medium tan head. Aroma has lightly toasty malts...toffee notes...mild hoppiness. Flavor has caramel but not too sweet...nice subtlet spicy hop notes...clean and crisp. Mouthfeel is light and lively and the finish is dry and mildly hoppy. I hate giving vbc props, but this is a great esb.

Poured from a growler to a pilsner glass. Pours a nice dark yellow / amber color. For me, it was a little light on the palate, but nothing offensive. More malty than hoppy, but pretty good.

Cask at he brewpub. Reviewed from notes. Pours a nice ted copper with an off white head and plenty of lacing. Nose brings earthy, herbal, and floral hops plus a touch of caramel. The flavor adds in a tiny amount of citrus plus some mild bready notes. Floral hops prevail. Lovely feel with great bitterness levels. A really solid and fantastically drinkable beer.
