On cask at Sputyen Duyvil. Deep golden orange in color with a nice fluffy white head. Citrusy hoppy yeasty aroma. Earthy hops. Hoppy fruity flavor. Apples, oranges, lemony notes. Finish is bitter. Thin bodied. Sour tasting. Ok.

Pours a hazy orange. Nose and taste is almost all citrus and peel. Overall, a pleasant beer, but seriously lacking any kind of complexity. Also, not very bitter for an ESB.

Bottle and one your would only buy if you were ticking. Pours a golden body with a white head. Some light fruity tones, citrus and lemon accents. Dusty and with a dank wood note. Finishes tart and spicy with a pepper and lemongrass finish. okay.

Pours a three finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer, leaving a good lace. Hazy amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Apple cider nose. Flavor is sour apple cider without the expected hops from a bitter, one has to question if this bottle has gone bad but after reading other reviews apparently it hasn’t, even though it hasn’t been brewed since 2006. $4.49 for a 500ml bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT.

Pint bottle - Poured a hazy light ice tea color with little head. Citrus on the nose and a sour bitterness on the pallet. Yeast and hops with a grassy sourness that makes me want to kick this Jezebel out the door. Not a Premium Bitter for me!

Bottle. Aroma of flowers and grass. hazy red color with a yellowish head. taste was mostly sweet and earthy.little bit of orange peel and lemon. Also a bit sour. Thought this was odd for the style but I liked it non the less.

1pt+ bottle from 6-Pack And Subs, Lancaster, PA...pours cloudy amber color, no head...faint mustly floral aroma, taste was sour, some citrus notes, tart, fizzy...first few sips were pretty good, kind of refreshing, but the whole bottle was a bit much...can’t say I liked it too much.

Half liter bottle (bottle conditioned!). Slightly sour citric aroma. A belgian? Less than clear amber tinged gold color with a decent white head. Medium body with fizzy carbonation - but soft carbonation. It’s a bit lactic. Earthy. Must be interesting hop, cause there’s a fair amount of bitter. The sour smooths into the finish. It’s now that the fruity ESB comes forth to balance against some roasted malt. But such a strange journey to get there. As consumption continues, the sour works out, and becomes a background thing. Wicked it is.

500 ml bottle. hazy golden beer with a thick tight white head. There is a fairly leathery aroma that first presents itself. A fairly tart citric acidity along with lots of dry dusty leathey aroma. A herbal tartness with strange notes of lemongrass and a hint of oak/wood. Quite sweaty. I’m not sure if this is supposed to taste like this, or if it’s infected. Sometimes these infections work, but I don’t think this one does. There is a bit of earthiness and a pithy bitterness. Lemon skin tartness. An indescribable fruitiness (maybe kiwi or gooseberry?). Strange brew here.

Bottle sampled. Pours golden with an average-large beige head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, spices, and herbal hops. The flavor is citrus, spices, fruit, herbal, and finishes with a slight bitterness.

Note: I love this label and Brewster’s "Wicked Women" Series.

Mid-golden, lightly headed in off-white on a vigorous pour. Fuggles come sharply off the top with cut grass clippings (wet grass that has been sitting in a plastic bin for a few days). Very sour flavor, I believe from the hops and not from yeasts, which is usually the case. Very lemony... lemongrass... lemon iced tea. Dry bitters in the finish. Takes some getting used to, but it can turn out to be enjoyably unique.
