On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is toasted malt and caramel. Thin body, toasted malt, earth, light finish, decent.

Apricots and strawberries and little bitterness. Again BR aims for an English style beer and falls short. Better than the Endevour, but a bit too sweet for my likely. More balanced and restrained than the Endevour. Not bad, would have again.

Draft. Ginger Man, NYC. Deep gold body. Frothy tan head, slowly diminishing. Hop aroma, but somewhat slight, of grapefruit and pine with notes of toasted grain, sweet malt. The flavor is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Not a great ESB. Just OK.
