| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 7, 2007 12oz bottle: aroma is malty with just a slight bit of sweetness. pours a little bit hazy dark amber, flavor is slighty complex the malt is somewhat sweet but offset by bitterness pretty well and just a slight amount of actual hop taste coming though but you cant really taste the hops like an IPA. goes down smooth. sloid beer. boFNjackson (1269), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2007 Bottle... Poured ruby with a huge frothy head. Spicy malt aroma. I didn’t like this one with the first couple of sips. Reminded me a lot of a one-dimensional amber ale, but the more I drank it, the more complex it came off. Most of the flavors came in the middle and finish. That’s when you start to get the caramelly malt and the hoppy finish. Not my favorite ESB, but still good. Prostman (1077), Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 1, 2007 Bottle - Poured a slightly cloudy, dark, reddish amber in color with a small white head. Aroma is medium of flowery and citrus hops along with some nice malty sweetness underneath. Flavor is less strong of hops than the aroma, but the medium hop bitterness signals their presence. Some maltiness is also present, but not strong. Unfortunately this beer smelled better than it actually tastes. OK, but not as good as the aroma led me to believe that it would be... sort of disappointing cbkschubert (1967), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA
