As Im a fan of ESBs, I may give this a pass as a cute gimmick if it wasn’t for Black Sheep being the brewers. Honey syrupy orange, full head (overly frothy when poured). Generally a good general ESB, malty, but not too sweet nor bitter, so it’s quite middle of the road. Pretty watery on the tongue, but still a bit of smoothness when in the mouth. Not the greatest, but not the worst I’ve had. (Bottle Pour 5/18/2008)

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle 0,5l. Golden brown colored. A rapidly disappearing fluffy head. Sweet fruity aroma. Flavor with hints of orange. Some bitterness in the finish. A bit one dimensional.

Aug 26, 2008 draft. Citrus grassy hops on the nose with fresh cut apples. Pours pale blonde with a white head that last some time. Sweet bready malts up front followed by an earthy bitterness, with a slight resin flavor in the finish. It finishes dry and crisp. A pretty good ESB all in all, good session beer.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle... Poured copper, orange with a real thin white head that diminished immediately. Floral aroma with some spicy hops and buttery, malt grains. Leafy, herbal hops lend towards a warm malt balance. Alright flavor, would make a good session ale but it’s a little over priced for that.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours amber with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma er mild caramel, a bit of fruitiness and good grassy and flowery hoppiness. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, some good peachy fruitiness and a mild chocolate and hoppy bitter finish. Quite alright.
