4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Had this beer on 8/27/1999. Color is a bright golden brown with good carbonation and a thin head. Aroma is a nice fresh hop scent. Taste is malty sweet, hoppy and oh so bitter. It starts with a medium body that has a bitterness in it right from the start. The finish starts as the beer goes down with a strong bitterness coming on and a light hop flavor.

650 ml bottle from Bottle Barn, Santa Rosa. Cloudy orange brown with a foamy white head. Malty grassy aroma. Slightly citrus taste with a decent bitter bite and a hoppy taste to the finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Bottle Barn; Nose of sweet flowers; like a floral nectar; copper with a thick, glass lacing, pale yellow head; flavor is sweet citrus with hop bitterness lightly lacing the background. Not like most ESBs but flavorful and enjoyable. I think my daughter in law Kiapepito would like this one.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Copper pour with a decent white head. Malt, caramel, and a floral/citrusy aroma. Bitter, metallic bite with some toffee and caramel. It is sour in the finish, almost starchy. Average ESB.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Moderate amber body with a nice head. Lightly honeyed, floral hops in the bouquet. Very bitter, ESBish flavor, but enjoyable, though sour-metallic finish detracts.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Has a very nice and bitter amora full of potent hops. Appearance is nice with a thick head and cloudy orange brown hue. Mouthfeel is a little bland with not much action. Flavor is excellent with lots of bitters.

Just found this dude lurking around my fridge. Thought I had lost him. Pours a nice amber color. The head didn’t last to long :rolleyes: The smell is very good. The drinkability and mouth feel are both good also. The taste was not quite what I thought from an ESB but is till really good.
