Another good effort from the Blue Ridge folks. Pour was amber colored with decent head and some lacing. The aroma was citrusy. The flavor was caramel, bready sweet with a citrusy hop bite. Well balanced. Good beer.

Medium amber color. Medium to large sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel and sweet with a touch of floral hops. A medium bodied ESB/bitter. Malts are fruity, caramel, toffee and sweet. Hops are floral and piney. English style bitter. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Nice sweet malt finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

lucky 7's........rich orange color, soft head, some lacing. lively bubbles. Sweet grainy scents to this. Good ESB with just the right amount of underlying bitterness. Clean flavors of juicy apple (say apple juice) to start, then finishes with lengthy grassy/ orange hop bitter. Medium body and not to bitter, just drinkable. Malt is bright and sweet but i'd like a bit more backbone to this here. True to the style and just a bit of "red" character.

Copper-amber in color, very rich in hue, with a decent white head and lively effervescence. Aroma is hoppy, slightly metallic with a light, sweet malt base. Mouthfeel is fairly full and creamy smooth...soft and easy-drinking. Flavor is very well-balanced between a full, light malt body and a clean, piney hop bitterness. Finish is clean and sweet with a barely-detectable bitter note. Overall, this is a good ESB, but not a great one (try Fuller's ESB for example).

A very good ESB! Deep brown appearance with a minimal head. mild aroma barely hints at the complex fruity hoppy flavor of this well-crafted beer. One of the more enjoyable ESB’s I have had in a while.
