Dark amber pour, nice head. HInts of maltiness, didn’t really get the hops but I enjoyed.

Amber. Light fruity notes with some caramel and bitterness, too. Medium bodied. Clean, fruity, and refreshing. What’s not to love?

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a hazy amber body, one finger white foamy head. Some carbonation is seen rising.
The smell had light caramel/fruity tones coming forth in front of light hops, malts are slightly there.
The taste was sweet yet bitter between previously mentioned flavors, fruity aftertaste, slight malty finish.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light to medium, sessionable, carbonation is spot on.
Overall, I say good for the style and good for me, Id have again if looking for an ESB in the DE area.

Bottle. Orange, caramel malt and quinine aroma. Amber with small head. Sweet caramel malt and mildly bitter grassy/vegetal flavor. Okay - hops a bit harsh.

I head this beer was great so picked up a couple A - One finger head, off-white. Beer itself is amber to light brown. S - A nice mix of hops, maltiness and barley. It’s a really nice mix but nothing really stands out. T - Hmm. Some deep dark fruits, mild hops and a really really delicious maltiness. Not chocolate but certainly sweet and ark. I like it but the aftertaste is completely flat and goes away fast. M - Nice amount of carbonation. Easy to drink for sure! O - It’s a decent beer. Not amazing but solid and VERY drinkable!
