3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. Pours a copper toned body with a white head. Spicy body with bread yeast notes, some light tea, herabal bitterness and toasted amtl. A dry earth toned with with a light malt bill. Nice bitter.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The chalkboard says 6%... Big lacing medium thin head, clear amber... subtle aroma, mild english malts and hops dominate, expecting a bit more... Flavors follow suit, very nice, but not enough punch for what is being advertised to me as a 6% ESB....
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange-red clear pour with lots of carbonation and bubbles. Creamy malt flavor with a bitter hop finish.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Copper body and white head. Smells of slight esters with bread. Tastes of biscuit, bread, slightly sweet and fruity with some hop spice. There is a light butterscotch finish with no bitterness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampler at the brew pub. Amber body with tan head. Slight sweetness and very bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at BT for the Victory Promo. Pours a mostly clear clean copper with a nice frothy lasting head- good lace. Aroma is nicely fruity esters, and a light toasty cracker malts, light crystal and toffee sweetness, herbal tea like hops and slight earth. Strange bready malt flavor, some toast toffee, sharp floral hoippiness, grass and light earth- more fruits sweeten it up a bit and a slight buttery toffee thing in the finish. Fairly traditional and very tasty. Nice ESB.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the Blind Tiger. Maybe it was just the hot, humid weather, but this beer was delicious and supremely quaffable. Creamy pour, with a rich, luxurious bready/biscuit aroma. Great body, with earthy German and English hops, and a crispy and refreshing finish. Loved it.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Barcade. Clear amber beer. Aroma is lovely. Lots of fresh earthy hops. Crisp crackery malts. There is a touch of biscuity/caramel malt sweetness and a bright lingering hoppiness. A little bit spicy with almost a noble floral character to the nose. The yeast and malts are quite clean and the beer itself is fantastically refreshing. A lingering spiciness on the back. A pretty nice pint really. It even gets a little bit citrusy as it warms up.
