Jul 24, 2002 Earthy, fuggley, quality brew - nice restrained English-style brew. Surprisingly unassertive for AleSmith.

Dec 17, 2003 glowing bright red color, bright white head. Burnt cedar aroma, sweet light hops. Sweet and malty with some toasty flavors, a solid body, a great ESB.

Jun 23, 2002 An almost clear copper/amber. Rather fluffy head and somewhat sticky lace. Nose of malt, spicy hop and hints of metal and fruit. Medium bodied, very smooth palate of chewy malt, yeasty fruitiness and a nice hop presence. There is a metal taste that is a bit detracting, I have tasted it in other beers as well and think it may be a flaw of some sort? But all in all, this is a really good pint. Gusler rocks!

Nov 28, 2004 Updated: Jun 25, 2007pours a deep amber hue with a small halo of a white head. Aromas of cinnamon, cookie dough, and a slight pine note. Flavors of caramel, slight copper/metallic taste, mild bitterness, malty, smooth/almost creamy, vanilla and caramel. Very nice esb, probably the best one i’ve had yet.

Dec 14, 2005 @ Alesmith: Hazy copper color. Malty aroma with notes of toffee and nuts. Malty caramel flavor has a light bitterness to the finish. Nice session beer.

Nov 8, 2003 Another hoppy beer from here. More malt syrup flavors with some caramel. Seemed more bold for a bitter, but still well done.

Jul 21, 2004 Aroma is piney hops with a solid maltiness. Flavor is hoppy followed by mlat that false just short of perfect balance. Very nice ESB.

Jun 21, 2006 the flavor is terrific, but it’s just a little watered down. quite malty though really balanced all around. not as good as Fuller’s, but only for lack of power.
