3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very nice, malty ale, although not exactly a bitter in my book. Pleasant maltiness, Sweet on the nose. Slightly soapy, missing the expected bitterness that I was looking for.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
July 5, 2007; 12 oz. bottle. A fine ESB. Cloudy in appearance. Full-bodied & flavorful for the style. Not in the same league as Fullers, but a very good effort from a way-better-than-average brewery. The $9.99 price tag (before deposit) on a six-pack of this (@ Kraig’s Kegs, Sherrill, NY) was rather repulsive, though, as the beer is not THAT good.

Bottle. Light aroma with notes of hops. Balanced light body with a light bitter palate. Smooth and balance. Nice beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[bottle] Orange colour with a slight haze. Dense head leaving a fine lace work. Fruity apricot aroma with notes of toffee. Lots of hops in the flavour with some notes of toffee and raisins. A bit thin and unbalanced though.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle. Aroma: Light biscuity malt, sulfur, floral/herbal hops, a touch of green apple. Appearance: Light orange in color and slightly hazed. Off-white head was medium and foamy with decent retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Biscuity and light grainy maltiness, strong sulfury note, Nice floral/herbal hoppiness with a bit of earthiness. Medium-low bitternees and a medium-dry finish. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: Not terrible, but not good either. I like some sulfur/mineral tones in an ESB, but this one was over the top with sulfur.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 19, 2007 Pours a mildly cloudy amber with a thin island of foam in the middle. Caramel and biscuit malts on the nose, along with a mild pleasant hop aroma. Refreshing taste, a mild hop presence in the background, but taste is mostly a light toasty bread flavor with a mild hop finish. Not among my favorite bitters, but still a quality drinkable one.
