Sampled from bottle. Wow. What a nice session bitter! This ESB pours clear copper with a thin, but lasting off-white head and scattered lacing. Its aroma is subtle, but nice: hard candy, floral and spice hops and hints of caramel. The flavor is nicely bitter and wonderfully spiced with hops, but the malts are still dominant. Medium-bodied and well-carbonated (but not gassy at all). Bitterness lingers. I could drink this ESB all day.

Pours very golden colored with a white head. Taste is wonderful of rich hops but not to much. I give this one an A+, a wonderful brew from the Bridgeport brewing company.

Pours a translucent copper gold with floaties. The nose is earthy, herbal, malty, caramel, some diacetyl, definitely english style. Flavor is similar, thin, earthy herbal hop bitterness, malty, some diacetyl. MIld hop bitterness and a thin mouthfeel.
