Pours a nice orange color with a medium orangish-white head. Spice and citrus in the aroma. Dry, biting hops present through the entire glass. Not the strongest hops I have encountered but enough to keep my attention. Even so it was not too bitter. Rather enjoyable brew.

Fairly good Amber, it actually seemed borderline Vienna to me. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a medium sand colored head that disappeared rather quickly. High ratio of malt to hops in the flavor which gave it some good body. This is definitely a solid, well-balanced Amber and I wouldn't mind getting it again.

I don't think this was as good as Fuller's ESB, and it didn't come close to the Crooked River version, but it was still a decent beer. Amber/orange color with a thin head. Big hops aroma with faint citrus as well. Bitter flavor with a dry finish, hops was prevalent throughout which is a must in any ESB if you ask me. Worth getting again some day.

Dark, oily color with a thick but quickly disappearing brown head. Great roasted coffee and cinnamon aroma. Flavor is creamy and sweet from the get-go, which is just how I like my Oatmeal Stouts. The coffee and chocolate flavor had a nice light hops and raisin finish to balance it out. Not the best Stout I have had but it is definitely up there, and is not very expensive either.

A rather good pale ale. Dark yellow color with a medium long lasting head. Rich hop aroma is both citric and spicy. Flavor is dominated by hops (again citric and spicy). Medium malt -just enough to balance it, but its still mainly a hop beer. Biting on the tongue, fizzy, with a lingering dry, stinging aftertaste that can be felt in the throat.

Very nice and fairly Englishy. Dark orangey-amber color, with light foamy head. Medium bodied, and fairly smooth. This is a beer that demands to be drunk at cellar temp. When cold its overwhelmingly bitter and unbalanced, but at cellar temp, its gentle malt fruitiness shows up and proves nice character. Its still on the bitter side, but palatably so. Aroma is herbal and fruity.

Very enjoyable and quite similar to real cask-conditioned ale (for a bottled beer). Lightly carbonated, very smooth body, foamy head, cloudy light brown color. Mild fruitiness is balanced nicely by a medium bitterness and grassy/herbal hop flavor and aroma. I really like this.
