22oz bomber. No date but it’s the first time I have seen this beer in Seattle, so probably relatively fresh. Amber copper color. Not much head or retention or lacing or is it the glass. Aroma has a touch of butterscotch, metallic- generic moderately bitter hops that don’t smell like anything interesting. Malty tea notes. Flavor has even less actual hop flavor and just a generic moderate bitterness and metallic, souless quality. This is more like malted bitter seltzer than a beer that is meant to showcase a hop. I’m so tired of these types of turds. It’s not bad, aside from the touch of butterscotch, but it’s a lack of doing something for flavor versus convention.

Keg at the taproom, 07/11/14. Lightly hazed golden blonde with a moderate off white covering. Nose is pale malt, grain husks, bready notes, cereals, light spice. Taste carries astringent bitter notes, light citric peel, grain. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not great, light metallic wash in the close, just about shades a macro lager but sub par in the craft world, pretty washed through and limited.

Keg at the taproom, 07/11/14. Lightly hazed orange amber with a moderate beige covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is caramel, bitter citric notes, mineral wash, rye bread. Taste comprises red grapefruit, candied sugars, spice, candyfloss, hoppy tunes. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ok, drinkable but not an ESB as I know it, typical American offering of the style ie too much in the way of hop presence and citric notes.
