3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle from Bier Stein. Pours a dark amber with a big fluffy white head. Aroma of caramel and a big whiff of earthy hops. Taste is mostly earthy hop with a bit of bitterness. Solid mouthfeel, well carbonated.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy amber with a modest white head. The rng of suds stays all the way to the end. Moderate lacing. Smell is earthy hops and some caramel. Taste is earthy leathery bitter hops with a fair amount of caramel tinged malts. Nice medium dry bitter finish. Mouthfeel is good with a modest amount of long lasting carbonation. A fine American take on an English style. One of the better examples I have had of this style. Very sessionable.

Nice gold color. Smells of malts with very faint hops. This one is a little bitter, but nothing special. Leaves a little bit of an aftertaste in the end, but nothing special.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Thanks to KnN for sharing! Poured a light amber with a big white head. This thing is super carbonated. Not picking up much in the nose. Light in body with lots of carbonation. Flavor is very hoppy for a ESB, and has a dry-bitter finish. Tastes closer to a pale ale than ESB. Meh.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a light amber color with a HUGE frothy white head. This beer was super carbonated. Aroma was slightly meaty with some hops and carmel/toffee undertones. Carmel covered ham or something. Really weird. Flavor was a bit less funky, with some good hops characteristics on the front end, a good malt middle, and then a wicked bitter finish. Kind of all over the place.

Bottle... Poured orange with a white head. Earthy, herbal aroma of floral hops and malted grains. Foamy palate with a medium carbonation and flavors of crisp grains that had a nice bread-like tone which was accented by the hop balance. Light fruit and a crisp yeast presence towards the finish. Quite good on this hot day.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very herbal aroma..not much in the way of malt. Flavor is herbal with a small malt finish. Moderate bitterness, but not lingering. An average ESB.
