Draft pour pint at Skagit River. A time carb, clear copper pour with a rock foam head and lacing. Sweet and bitter caramel aroma. Flavor is quite bitter, but I can’t hate on a bitter for being bitter. Soft spice, some lemon, somewhat metallic, cool finish. Not bad.

Draft - Light grains. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Bitter citrus and caramel. Bitterness is a bit high without the twiggy bitterness I expect.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dull orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is subtle, with English hops and faint malt backing. Flavour is rather off-putting, with vegetal notes, English hops and metallic notes. Something seems wrong to here as it tastes pretty skunked. Not good.

On tap. Pours a dark copper with moderate head. light aromas of grass, toast, and caramel. Flavors are same with sweet malts up front and dry grassy hops to finish. Nothing special though.

Amber,lasting beige head.Intense bead.Bland vaguely sweet fore & mid,medium hop bitterness in finish. 1 dimensional,lacking in malt. One of my least favorite breweries ruining my favorite style. Thought I give the brewery another shot, but nothing has improved.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with nice creamy head, persistent and sticky. The aroma is a bit dusty. Caramel flavor, quite dry, and with a hint of burnt sugar; quite strong bitterness, a bit too ashy in the final.
Reasonably an ESB, not impressive though.
