On tap at Railway Club, Vancouver. Labelled as Kettle ESB. Amber colour with lasting of white head. Odd beer, some malty berry flavour, some nicely balanced hop. Nice malt/red fruit aroma. Some nice spicey hop on finish. Dries the roof of the mouth on finish. Bit of yeast on aroma. Quite full in mouth. Then too strong hop on finish rather throws it out of balance. Drinkable though.

Draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver. Clear reddish amber, thick creamy head. Aroma of licorice and roasty malt. Fairly light bodied with clean mouthfeel. The hops adds grapefruit and pleasantly perfumy schampoo as well as good bitterness. The hop character is delicious!

Dark copper colour. The aroma has the standard "American amber" mix of earthy crystal malts and floral, slightly citrusy C-hops. Tastes pretty much like pommelo, eaten fresh in SE Asia. A little toasty. Rounded and balanced with a lingering, dry finish. The most assertive of the Central City beers I’ve had to date.

Hazy light brown,thin beige head. Good citrus hop nose. Nice grapefruit hop flavor with the amount of balancing malt varying with each batch
