This pours a dark orange/brown with a thick white head. The lacing is average. The taste is a fruity, slight grainy bread notes throughout, the the maltiness is a light molasses, hops aren’t huge but noticable but do balance to the beer nicely, still seems a little plain though. The aroma is of brown roasted sugar. The toasted grains are pleasant. The body is light for a pale. This isn’t the greatest Pale on the planet but it is very drinkable.

Sep 7, 2008 The site just deleted my review of this as I was trying to enter it, so here it is again, but shorter. Strangely unique, a bit out of balance, not the best representative of an ESB (almost tastes like it is brewed with Belgian candi sugar), light bodied with a bit to much carbonation for my liking. Still (overall) it is a decently enjoyable beer but I don;t think I will ever buy it again unless Macro lagers are my only other options.

Sep 7, 2008 Nice looking amber pour, as the description says it is bitter, but a faint bitter offset nicely by some citrus, faintly nutty, smooth finish. A must too have this on tap, a must.

Sep 6, 2008 Beautiful copper colour, Thin creamy head. Sweet malty caramel nose. Nice bitterness, a little metallic aftertaste. Easy to drink. I’ll have another round please.

Sep 1, 2008 Taste: 9/8 Bottle(?) Looks: Copper with a thin yeasty head. Aroma: Small hops fruit/citrus behind the yeast. Taste: A good ESB even if it is the export recipe. Like it more every time I have it. Nothing special, but a good quality beer for such high production.
