Brewery draught, 10/28/23. Clear, medium copper. Small, beige head sits at cover. Spicy, earthy hops with crusty bread and a bit of mineral. Quite an ebullient yet clean yeast. Fruity, malty, good bitterness with a hint of toffee and light honey-like malt. Peppery hops linger with a substantial body and great balance. Very impressed by this brewery.

Can pour from the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy orange-light amber with nice sparkle, 1/2-finger width fizzy beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is mix of wet cardboard and fruit. Taste is more amplified version of aroma--stronger fruit and sweet malts, wet leaves. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and sweet finish as taste, late dryness but virtually no bitterness. Overall, a good representative of the style and a nice break from the heavy dose of NEIPA's and stouts I've been having lately.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. I don’t get to sample too many ESB’s these days so this is a nice change up. Aroma is toffee, earthy malt, ale yeast. Flavor is a direct reflection of Toffee, caramel, and earthy malt. Good texture in mouth feel. Exactly what you were expecting the style.

Can from tfontana, thanks for the trade. Touch of haze is a dark amber beverage with a frothy tan head that slowly recedes. Bready toasty light caramel maltiness with bits of earth to counter. Light fruit decent ESB
