Keg at the taproom, 07/11/14. Lightly hazed orange amber with a moderate beige covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is caramel, bitter citric notes, mineral wash, rye bread. Taste comprises red grapefruit, candied sugars, spice, candyfloss, hoppy tunes. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ok, drinkable but not an ESB as I know it, typical American offering of the style ie too much in the way of hop presence and citric notes.

Draft - Sweet and estery, caramel, cherry and a bit of spice. Cloudy copper with no real head. Leathery, tobacco, cherry and oaky bitterness. Although complex, not that great.
