Draft. Clear deep amber color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of biscuit, subtle white peper. Taste is black pepper, honey covered homemade biscuits fresh from the oven. Very tasty.

Dry-hopped cask at the Shirlington location. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of big citrus hops with mild toasted caramel malts. The taste is bitter herbal, citrus hops and faint caramel malts. Medium bodied, overwhelmed by the hopping sadly.

Draft @ the Capital Hill location. Pours a pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma. Fruity malty caramel flavor with citrus hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty caramel finish.

A reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, faint caramel malt with faint hops. In mouth, a light crisp malt over timid British hops, not bad, but nothing exceptional. On tap at Shirlington location, April 12 2011.

Aroma: Sweet, caramel, bread
Appearance: Hazy amber color
Flavor: Sweet and smooth
Palate: Medium body, nice balance, malty, decently long finish
Overall Impression: This one was alright, not a standard ESB necessarily, but a nice drinkable beer, not totally distinguishing.

Draught at the brewpub, downtown
Cloudy amber color. Aroma of sugar. Some caramel and sugar flavor, with a strong bitterness; long final. Not impressive.

Had this on tap at the Capitol City Midtown location. Served in a pint glass with a creamy, foamy slightly beige head. Body is hazy, amber with yellow hues. Fairly standard aroma, lemons and oranges with a bit of mass produced bread. Flavor was very bitter, obviously, with lemons and oranges, a little bread east and some light fruits. Finish is watery which was a bit of a turn off since there wasn’t much mouth puckering bitterness. Average, drinkable but unremarkable.
