    I love hoppy beers. This beer was brewed to get me through football season and has done a fine job. Nice clear amber color and
excellent malty flavor. This didn't turn out as hoppy as I had hoped, but it is a very nice beer.

    My bottle conditioning turned out a little inconsistent. While none of the bottles came out flat, a few where a bit
overcarbonated. Like my experience with High & Tight ESB, the oak chips where a nice addition.
