3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours cloudy peach with a white veneer. Aroma is primarily of spicy nectar, apples, and fruity esters. Flavor is caramel, grapefruit and pine. Palate is resinous and dry. I felt as though this was very a-typical of the prototypical ESB. It seemed more like an APA. Very good though.

Sampled at the Avery tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits. Semi-cloudy copper/amber pour with a medium beige. Aroma of a perfect hop and malt balance. Caramel malt flavor with a bitter finish. An ESB done well.

2009 Bottle - Thanks beerbill! - Pours a cloudy orange with a medium off white head...aroma is tart and cirtic, raw grain and slightly oaky...flavour is nicely bitter from the get go, sweet feel but bitter in the mouth, bready and slightly astringent, but it totally works for the beer, I really liked it...
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
As a hiker, I had to try this one for the gimmick factor alone! Pours a clear amber, a bit more dark brown than reddish. Big fluffy white head with moderate retention.
Slight aroma of malt and a touch of hops. Similar in flavor, really. Not a big impactful taste, and not as bitter as a Fuller’s.
Decent mouthfeel, a bit fizzy with carbonation, but solid.

Bottle. Poured a darker amber color with a two finger white head. Aroma was some mild hops, lots of malts, and yeast. Flavor is mild bitters, sweet flavors, and caramel. Decent carbonation. Smoother then I expected, but balanced very well. Good but not great.
2.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear amber pour, low head and lace. Bitter wet dog aroma. Nice carb, bitter with a nice woody hops. Some dusty smoke, hoppy dryness. Very low malt, not bad.

pours amber with a white frothy head. smells of brown sugar and maybe a hint of apricots or peaches. taste is pretty plain nothing really sticks out. finishes with a sweet light fruitty taste.l
