From flight at brewery. Slightly hazy dark straw color. Lots of lacing on side of glass. The beer is awful for a pils from start to finish. Applet, cidery, sweet fruits, soooooo unclean and poorly made.

Draft at a bar in West Seattle. Amber brown color with a long lasting small head. Aroma is a mix of rather fruity British yeast with hops. A moderate fruity dusty English character. Hops are hard to pick out but bitter for sure not pine or citrus. Flavor is similar fruitiness settles down, more contained. Medium bitterness. Long dusty British character with bright bitterness that is perfectly straddling the almost too bitter line. The fruitiness is appropriate to the style in this case. Its a hoppy ESB, way better ESB underneath the hops than similar examples. Its a little more bitter and American but a good mix of the styles.
