Thanks Mike.
Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a soft burnt amber almost brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had some sweet to roasty nuts with a gentle clean maltiness of some caramel to toffee tones. Light earthiness, some grassiness. Little bit of some piney-ness.
The flavor kept the roasty nuts up front and blended the sweet and earthy portions to the ebb and flow of the tastes rolling along my tongue. Not much of an aftertaste. Nice piney/earthy and nutty clean smooth sweet finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine and the ABV felt as projected by the brewer.
Overall, really nice brown ale well worthy of wanting again.

The appearance was a pale copper/amber color with a finger’s worth of quickly dieing foamy white head. Lace is there, but somewhat messy.
The aroma had some sugary candy notes up front, light cereal/grainy malts. Ended with some biscuits.
The flavor copied the aroma for the most part and then added in a little bit of some tropical fruits. All blended together in the aftertaste to follow through in the finish.
The feel was just a little bit under in being medium bodied. Fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, weird ESB, not sure what the British would think of this one, and I’m thinking maybe Motor City was trying to cater to the American crowd.
