Feb 24, 2003 Light amber body, medium head with nice lacing. Aroma is mildly bitter and malty. Not too assertive flavor, but there's some good medium bitterness in the back half.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle thanks to cbkschubert: Pours a transparent bright copper bronze with a large, over-carbonated, pillowy airy, clingy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of slightly soapy floral English hops with a touch of toasty pale malt. Body starts semi-sweet and with some toasty pale British malt balanced with a mild earthy piny hop character toward a thinner, but smooth finish. A pretty decent ESB.

Nov 24, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with cbkschubert (thanks!). Poured a medium and see through orange color with a very large sized off white head. Aromas of floral, citrus, and spicy. Tastes of floral, citrus, caramel, and a spicy finish. Nice spicy and lightly bitter finish. This one grew on me more as I drank the bottle.

Oct 3, 2006 Bottle: Pours a light copper color wih a nice creamy head and good lacing. The nose is hoppy with a light crispy citrusy note along with orange rind and sharp lemon juice. A bit of pale malt shows through, but it doesn’t smell like it will be too sweet. The flavor isn’t bitter at all with a light hoppy bitterness and some very simple sugars to liven it up. A decent body and mouthfeel. A bit thin in the finish but it’s drawn out to extend its welcome. Decent pale ale.
