| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 28, 2009 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. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2009 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.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 24, 2009 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. l1br4r14n (297), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 22, 2009 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. KnN (756), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 22, 2009 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. boFNjackson (1328), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2009 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. milljam (584), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2009 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.
