| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 21, 2007 Pours a transparent copper orange with a frothy, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of floral, earthy mildly citrusy hoppy notes with a touch of sugary pale maltiness. Has a fairly full body for the style with a nice earthy caramel maltiness and some earthy citrusy hop balance. A pretty decent ESB. BrewDad (2366), Olympia, Washington, USA

A deep amber color with a nice foamy head. This was a bitter with extra bitter in the fron middle and at the end. A great bitter for those who like bitters. Had a big hop presence and the finish was very dry.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 9, 2007 Pours very hazy amber. Mine had lots of floaties in it, which I like. Very frothy, long lasting head. Nose is light caramel, fruit. Nice malt body is balanced well by grapefruit hops. Well balanced...I think I’ll have another. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 4, 2007 Pours a cloudy reddish orange with a modest white head. Very hoppy aromas, some citrus, and sweet malts compliment it. Definitely a bitter, as it was just that. The hops were quite abundant with thebitterness. get some remnants of citrus in the finish but not a whole lot. Decent brew. adrian910ss (1410), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 21, 2007 22 oz bomber. Pours a clear orange amber color with a medium white head. Aroma is floral with bitter hops and a hint of orange lemon citrus. Taste is pleasantly bitter with lots of hops and a good citrusy yet slightly piney flavor to it. Underrated ESB in my opinion.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 15, 2007 My favorite bottled ESB. A little maltier than most. Lot of hop flavor and aroma with mild to medium bitterness. Very authentic english hop flavor, very smooth spice hops. Has an aroma just like it tastes. GregClow (2495), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 12, 2007 Draught sampler at Elysian Brewpub, Seattle. Clear orange-amber. Flavour and aroma are both well-balanced, with sweet malts up front and slightly piney hops coming through nicely in the finish. A touch on the hoppy side for the style, but still quite good. jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 8, 2007 Poured a clear reddish copper with a small foamy white head. Aromas of sweet, slightly toasty ESB malts and soft floral, citrus hops. Good even carbonation and a malty crisp, smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. A good rich malty, a bit buttery and fruity, a mild hop presence, very quaffable from the tap.
