3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the brewpub. Same reddish amber as most of their lineup. The aroma hints at pie cherries. And it drinks with a fruit syrup thing, in both mouthfeel and taste. Mildly rich malt, and a cloying finish. I want waffles, (#4908, 1/15/2013)
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
on draft at brewery, this one is very odd, toasty and malty, like a german beer, very thin and watery body that kind of screws it
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the brewpub. Deep amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is lightly toasty with a soft sweet crackery character. A little bit of toasted malt and some other sweet caramelly flavour. Very clean maltiness with a bit of noble zesty hoppiness over the clean base. Munich malt flavour really comes out. A very simple, but surprisingly complex ale. I don’t really think this is an ESB... more alt than anything.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Crystal clear amber body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, toasty caramel. Taste is medium sweet, toasted caramel, some orange. Light-medium body. Nice but a little one-dimensional.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours coppery with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, some flowers, pine, roses, some spice. Taste yields some nice dry pilsnery hints coupled with lots of spices and a fruity finish.
