joekinty (217), rockledge, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2008 lots of c hops in this beer tasted really good balanced well the hops and malts JCastner (38), New York, USA Aug 31, 2008 Poured a light copper with an off white head. Aroma is of some English hops though I am sure Cascades and Chinook were used. Bitterness on the front is standard for an American ESB with some of the maltiness found in the better examples of this style. Light body. Although, I’m not a fan of Blue Point this is a good effort. rugbydude05 (176), Kew Gardens, New York, USA Aug 13, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Pours a maroon color with a fresh hoppy aroma. Taste as you would expect is bitter but its not over the top- the smooth palate balances out. Aftertaste is bitter, most likely my favorite from Blue Point. fredandboboflo (618), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 20, 2008 Growler from beer store. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, ripe cherries. Flavor a perfect blend of distinct sweet, bitter, and lightly tart points, earthy. Semi-dry, clean finish. Endlessly drinkable. Very nice. LilBeerDoctor (624), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 17, 2008 Growler. Pours a clear copper with a huge, thick, creamy and expanding tan head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, toast, with flowery hops hiding in the background. Aroma of roasted malts, bitterness. Refreshing. Pretty good, more so if you like that toast/roast taste in your ESB.
