On Tap
Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
Clear dark orange and amber with a thin white head. Regular, lined lacing down the glass.
West Coast style hop aromatics--piney and citrusy. This could easily be confused with a hoppy pale ale or well-balanced IPA's aroma. Balanced nicely with caramel and crystal malts, but certainly a hop-forward aroma.
Bitter first, pine and citrus second, then bready and caramel malt balance. Very nice.
Medium to thick, but a pleasure to drink.
A great, hop-forward American bitter. Refreshing and hugely drinkable.

Had this at The Surly Goat in West Hollywood.
Appearance: Brown with an almost reddish tint. Creamy tan head.
Aroma: Malts and fruits with a hoppy smell.
Taste: Somewhat sweet taste of malts, bitter fruits and strong on the hops.
Mouthfeel: Carbonated with a hoppy aftertaste.
Drinkability: a decent beer but not what I look for in n ESB. Too damn hoppy. I suppose this is the American style. Some may like it but I prefer the more traditional.

Had on-tap at Breakwater Brewing Co in Oceanside, CA. Served in a pint glass.
A : Amber brown with a solid creamy finger head. Somewhat hazy.
S : Feint hoppy smell with a layer of caramel malt underneath.
T : A nice up front sweetness of malt, hit hard on the end wit ha strong bitter bite. Light citrus note to the hop, but not overbearingly present.
M : A medium body with a very nice carbonation fizz.
D : Very nice thirst quencher and a great American spin on the style.
