Tap at Queen City Brewery, Burlington. Colour is clear orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Some fruits, dryness, some bitterness and malts. Clear and decent but easy. Well at least this one is really E.S.B unlike most of the american E.S.B:s.

Treated as a steinbier, oh whoah, wait, what the hell is that? An ancient style that has escaped my knowledge. Well, I poured this into a becher pint glass, why, well, I have no clue, but I think I did taste lager yeast, close enough, here’s the rest.
The appearance was a hazy burnt amber to orange color with a quickly dissipating white head. Barely any lacing.
The smell started off with sweet caramel with subtle smoke sliding in underneath.
The taste copies the smell nicely bringing subtle dry mineral notes. Light bready-like lager flavor rides in nicely. Dry smoky to burnt caramel aftertaste. Quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionable sweet smooth dryness hitting my tongue.
Overall, I’d say this is a nice beer all around despite me not knowing anything about the style. I’d have again.

Pours a slightly hazed gold into a weizen. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Dried banana and aspirin aromas. Soft with sweet banana and cream upfront turning to mild earth before the lasting banana bread finish.

Bottle from Acton Mostly clear light golden color with a smallish white head that dissipates quickly. Spicy wheat and a hint of fruit and earth with a touch of clove on the nose. Sweet bready maltiness with hints of light stone fruit. Light banana and clove with bits of earthy spicy yeasty flavor. Medium body with a light level of carbonation.
It’s really clear, even with a swirl of the bottle to touch up my glass, it should be cloudy with yeast. The carbonation is really light in my bottle, and maybe a bit of carbonic bite would help add a bit of tart to cut through the somewhat sweet character of this beer. Its a clean well made beer, but needs a few tweaks to really stand out.

This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a semi-burnt chestnut brown color with a nice transparency about it. A milky to off white colored foamy one finger head quickly dissipated leaving a small cap in the center of the beer. Light lacing clings yet slides into the beer as it went down.
The smell starts off with some roasty nuttiness along with some bready malts. Light toast slides in for the balance.
The taste had a dry sweetness about it. I’d say it gets a bit rough in the aftertaste taking the nuts and bready malts a bit further.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body, surprisingly enough, I don’t mind a little more \"weight\" than what I’m used to seeing for the style. Still, a nice sessionability about it yields a smooth carbonation and proving it can be quite smooth.
Overall, I’d say Queen City did what they’re supposed to with this one. I’d have again preferably with some food.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a rim of a mocha to off white bar pour’s kind of head.
The smell had a sweet cocoa bean to powder aroma sliding into some nice roasty coffee beans.
The taste was mainly sweet taking the previously mentioned flavors to town on the sweetness and allowing a delicate creaminess in the flavor.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation rides extremely low allowing a sweet creaminess to be felt on my tongue.
Overall, really nice porter, definitely one of their better beers and one I’d definitely come back to.
