Sep 26, 2009 Served on tap at AleSmith. Appearance is copper with a good amount of bubbles. The aroma and flavors are English style toasted malt with some caramel and nut notes.

does not count  Sep 12, 2009 Amber color with large white head. Aroma is strong and lingers nicely in the nostrils with caramel/apple balanced well against the malt/hops. Very smooth on the first few sips with fruity tones in the finish and a slight bitter aftertaste.

Sep 5, 2009 Sampled at Lithy’s Septemberfest Tasting. Clear dark amber with massive, fading off white head. Nose of apple juice. Flavor is a tart earthy sourness. This must be old as hell. Will have to try again fresh.

Sep 5, 2009 Pours a clear orange-amber with a thick two finger tan head, minor lacing. Aroma is grass, citrus and caramel. Flavor is a good balance, leaning a bit more to the malts, very smooth and drinkable

Sep 3, 2009 cloudy brown body with no head, sweet malt aroma with some mild roast, flavor is mostly sweet malts, there are some very mild hop flavors that are difficult to specifically pick out, what hops are there lightly spicy and noble in character, a very dry chalky roast finish, mild nut, hints of pine needles, light and refreshing and surprisingly complex flavors for a bitter, This is a good example, I’m surprised it’s not more bitter than it is, but I’m glad to taste that AleSmith respects the ESB style.

Aug 23, 2009 The deep hazy chestnut brown head with luscious frothy and foamy head looks absolutely beautiful- but afterwards makes me think that something has gone awry. Totally soured to taste and smell. This bottle has been contaminated. Unfortunately due to a blind taste test I didn’t know and thought it was some kind of weird sour ale or something but it was pretty gross considering what it was supposed to be. I unfortunately consumed it all, and upon realizing- the notes I had seemed quite irrelevant. It really looked pretty though. Will have to re-rate soon
