Very well carbonated. Dark amber pour with a thin white head.

Smells a bit citrusy.

Taste is surprisingly mellow, was expecting more of a bite, but it’s a lot like drinking an amber. Very smooth.

Decent brew, but there are usually better options.

Had this on-tap in a pint glass at the Big Time.

Appearance: hazy amber orange hue with a thin layer of tan foam. Not bad.

Smell: mild caramel malt aroma. Not too bad

Taste: kind of spicy malt flavor; I'm getting almost a nutmeg quality. Nutty and sweet; I like it. Hops are minimal and earthy; bitterness is moderate and balanced at the very end.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a big carbonation and a good level of creaminess. I like it.

Overall: quite a decent little ESB. I'd definitely have it again.

3.94/5  rDev +4.8%
look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: hazy orange color with a one finger head that falls slowly to a thick surface foam. Nice lacing develops.

Smell: barely anything is detectable by the nose beyond some soft sweetness.

Taste: light bread texture with some mild caramel candy, fruity sweetness, hints of orange citrus, and a very mild bitterness. An example of a simple flavor structure that creates a very enjoyable beer.

Mouthfeel: lightly crisp but leaning towards smooth. Very little aftertaste. Lighter side of the medium body scale.

Drinkability: very easy quaffing session beer. Just wish the aroma was more noticeable. Solid offering.
