On CASK at BrewPub Portland OR, Pours out a hazy copper topped with a off white head. Pretty good. Some light wood along with some light hops. I think this style is starting to grow on me. Or I have just had a few good ESB’s as of late.

Bottle from jah noth. Hazy amber-orange body, medium buff head. Citrusy, medicinal hops nose, green and oily. Wet socks. Sweet, bready body with grapefruit and pine hops, earthy and medicinal, oily, and bitter. Not over-the-top or particularly complex, but solid.

Draft at the brewpub. Aroma of toasted malt and very light coffee. Medium body with pert carbonation. Black color with creamy tan head. Flavor is smooth toasted malt, transitioning to something like cola, followed by floral fruity notes. Finishes very smooth, definitely fruity, and extremely pleasant.

Word from the brewmaster at the brewpub is that this recipe is the one now used for ESB. So: Cask at the brewpub at the brewery. Clean caramel aroma. Clear dark amber color. Off-white head that sticks around. Soft, luscious, fruity, malty with floral/fruity hop. The bitter balancing the malt does not seem to be pine or citrus. Fresh floral/fruity finish, hints of malt here at the end, mild bitter, and some possible citrus sour at the back of the mouth. Fantantastic.

Bomber. Marvelous floral hop aroma. Hazy light amber color with a minimal white head. Medium in body with a near creamy carbonation. The flavor is floral hop lightly backed by citrus accompanied by unobtrusive caramel. This is very smooth and mellow. The finish is reasonably dry with a nice hop presence. It is extremely kind to the mouth, and a pleasure to drink.
