Aug 21, 2005 Bottle. Pours copper. First things first, although this looked like it was have alot of spark to the mouthfeel from the bubbles, it was surprisingly smooth. Okay, the nose was spicy hops, some malt sweetness a bit as well. Flavor was not as full as the nose, mainly hoppy with sweet undertones. No big deal. Very drinkable and refreshing, but I expected more from Alesmith.

Aug 20, 2005 Really nice deep copper color to this beer with a good size off white head. It leaves behind a nice lacing down the glass. The aroma has that roasted maltiness to it with some toffee and brown sugar as well. The flavor was impressive with the maltiness coming through first, with a little bit of hops coming through as well. This was a very enjoyable brew.

Jul 31, 2005 Bottle. Rich honey amber with an off-white head. Malty/caramel aroma. Toffee/caramel flavor with some citrus hop and spice. Medium body and easy drinking. Not a bad take on an ESB.

Jul 18, 2005 Bought bottle at brewery and consumed shortly thereafter. Copper color with decent beige head. Fruity aroma with some caramel in flavor. Tastes to be "west coast" hopped, which makes an interesting combination on a traditionally English style. Well carbonated. Better than average, but not stellar like most of the others from this brewer.

Jul 11, 2005 Nice deep amber red with a small white head. Malty aroma of caramel and biscuits. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, caramel, toffee, apple and ends with a touch of dark fruits/chocolate. Not too sweet.Has a pleasant, subdued hop bitterness which hits the back of the tongue. Medium body with a smooth texture and subtle carbonation. No lacing or head retention though. Overall, pretty good.

Jul 7, 2005 Courtesy of Pailhead. Pours medium brown/amber highlights. No head. Musty caramel malt aroma with some floral hop background. Flavor is all sweet malt with a strange fruit character, the yeast in the description I’d assume. Average but drinkable.

Jul 2, 2005 bottle from foolish mortal. looks like a bitter, with a light woody color and very clear. surprisingly fruity, with a lot of strawberry flavors as well. a little bit too fruity and acidic to be a perfect session beer, but definitely easy-to-drink. a good session beer anyway.

Jun 30, 2005 Looks a lot like iced tea. Small head lace. Light fruit aroma with some spicy hoppiness. Somewhat cirusy with a good malt backbone. Again it reminds me of iced tea with a lot of lemon.
