May 21, 2006 Good overall beer, however I was much more impressed with Stoudt’s Scarlet lady than this.

May 18, 2006 Bottle 22oz. Pours a clear amber with not much head. Very little carbonation. Scents of apples and hops on the nose. Roasted, carmelized, slightly coffee flavors mixed in with bitter notes that continue into the finish. Thought the roasted flavors overwhelmed the fruit and predominated the taste buds.

Mild ale sweetness amd wholesome bready notes in the aroma. Orange/amber body with a wispy oil slick of a head. Grain-tinged fore is mild on the tongue with an equally mild hop profile. very grainy feeling and tasting and that invokes bread some biscuit and a general heartiness to the beer. Thicker feel than many ESB’s I’ve had and good overall flavor intensity.

May 15, 2006 Copper colour and clear body with a nice bubbly white head. NIce aroma of caramel and roasty notes with some spicy hops. Flavour is full, balanced esb without the typical hop dominace that I don’t always care for. Smooth beer.

May 14, 2006 Slightly dark amber body with ABSOLUTELY no head. Maybe the bottle was sitting a while as there was lotsa floatie stuff at the bottom. No idea. Completely different than Decadence. This had a very Fuggle dominated aroma. Some caramel. Interersting that they even fixed their water but kept the usual ’championship’ yeast. Great mouthfeel. All together it worked out well. One of my favorite ESBs.

May 11, 2006 On Tap: Loads of bubblegum in the nose; somewhat toasty and pretty clean, light-bodied ESB; a tad on the sweet side, with a dubbel-like quality; hints of dark fruits and special-b caramel; a bit strange, but quite fine: a Belgian-style ESB?

Apr 27, 2006 Bought this while on a business trip in LA. A great brew, nice tan color, bitter aroma, some floral notes. A good medium feel to the mouth. I could drink a lot of these.

Apr 22, 2006 Foggy light brown. Small, tan head settles quickly. Bitter aroma with lightly floral and piney hops and slightly toasty malt undertones. Same flavor. Dry. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet. Clean, dry finish. Medium/light, balanced body is a bit too thin. Simple session brew. Would pair nice with a big, juicy cheeseburger.
