Aug 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy dark copper/brown color with a huge beige colored head. Aroma is caramel, fruity, floral hops. Flavor is caramel malts, toffee, citrus, floral notes. Palate is medium bodied, highly carbonated, finished super dry and bitter. I’m finding I really like this style more and more more, especially during the summer months. A great version of the style.

Aug 23, 2007 I was very disappointed by this beer. I thoroughly enjoyed Alesmith’s IPA, so I expected this to be up to the same standards, but I was very let down. Color is a beautiful copper color, but aroma and taste are lacking. Probably would not buy this again.

Aug 17, 2007 Sweet, flowery aroma. Pours brown with a small beige head. Flavor is nice, not complex, but caramel, slight bitterness, and a medium body. Good for an ESB

Aug 16, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Pours an almost clear copper with a moderate light tan head that left some light lacing. Nice bright citrus aroma. The flavor was quite mild with malt and toffee up front with just a bit of hops bitterness at the finish. The finish seemed a bit weak and just didn’t quite come together for me.

Aug 15, 2007 Bottle, again thanks to Jon!! Poured a beautiful deep caramelly-toasted plum with a short, very well-placed off-white head and sticky lacing.. just what I was looking for! The aroma picked up sweet floral notes, soft caramel, and a touch of toasty fruits.. really, really nice!! Flavor had light toasty caramel at the core with some biscuit and toffee notes.. mild, but well-represented dried toasty floral and perhaps grassy notes.. just a perfect balance. About medium-bodied with a terrific balance!.. sweet citrus and floral at the finish with a sweet kick. This was quite good!

Aug 15, 2007 Bottle. Poured hazy brown, with a thick, frothy tan head. Nice floral hop aroma. Nice sweet caramel malt flavor up front, with notes of butter, chocolate malt, and fruit with some hops in the background. Tasty and well-balanced ESB.

Aug 8, 2007 I LOVED this beer! It had a great copper color and a pungent aroma that smelled fantastic. The flavor was bitter but quickly transitioned to a malt and hop medley. I will definitley try this again.
