Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass, thanx Steve for bringing me a growler of this.
The appearance was a dark red/brown complexion with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing here and there.
The smell had a mild nutty grainy caramel aroma.
The taste was slightly sweet and nutty.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body and came across pretty sessionable. The carbonation was there but mainly smooth across my tongue for the most part.
Overall, good English Mild Ale I’d have again.

Grumbler purchase from Breeze In, Juneau, AK.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a decent looking light bronze/amber color that has a nice transparency about it. Light carbonation is seen rising at a moderate pace. There was a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. There was barely any lacing.
The aroma smelled like a normal ESB at a lighter level (definitely not a true ESB like the British do). But this one still had a nice roasted \"apple-like\" quality with a nice sweet malty nuttiness rolling about my nose wrapped all up into a nice conglomeration.
The taste was the dry sweet maltiness that hits the tastebuds fairly hard like a good ESB should. The aftertaste is right on par for the dry and sweet part and so is the finish.
On the palate, this one sits light and comes across pretty sessionable, perhaps more sessionable than most ESB’s or at least the ones the British do.
Overall, I like this as a session ESB as it doesn’t sit as full as a true one that the Brits do. Still, if anything this would definitely be a go to ESB with its respected food. If anything, I’m super glad that Arkose finally made their way to Juneau, please Arkose come back. Thank you.
