Jun 16, 2008 From the bottle shown in this picture. Poured a standard copper-amber body with a nice medium-sized white head. Well-balanced nose of spicy, floral hops and rich, biscuity malts. Mildly bitter, but extremely smooth and well built.

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Appearance rich brown for an ale. Standard head. Flavor complex and balance on the palate is so well done, it’s hard to identify individual components. Smooth blend of hops. Would go well as a session or even with a steak.

Jun 10, 2008 Light beige weak head. Dark amber colour. Aroma is malty, fruity with caramel and light banana and nutty notes. Falvor is malty too with delicate fruity and wooden tones, ending in a slightly hoppy finish, Light to medium bodied,

Jun 7, 2008 This beer will go good with almost everything. Has a great balance & mixture of soft hops and malty flavors. I didn’t really taste the alcohol hall in it at all. Didn’t think the price was too bad either at something like $3 for 22 oz.

does not count  Jun 7, 2008 Quite a rich malty experience. Lovely molassess and yeasty aroma. Very molassss taste. To me this beer had a very unique flavor... and an unexpected "wow", which I always appreciate. Very nice mouthfeel too. My only complaint is that there is a bit too much alcohol taste for me, especially for a brew that is only 5.9%. One thing that really struck me is that this beer screams malt and to my palate is not very bitter at all, so after tasting I found the EBS label a bit confounding. Bear in mind that I am not a beer connoisseur, and as an american am surely influenced by all of the "hophead" brews we have over here. Very good beer.

Jun 7, 2008 Pours a light copper with thin off-white head, the aroma is malt and hops which alternate with every whiff. Very balanced flavor, this is the best ESB i’ve had so far and so much so that the other ESB’s i’ve tried don’t even come close to this.

Jun 7, 2008 Very smooth, slightly creamy, slightly bitter. Smell of caramel and grass. Taste was somewhat bitter, but balanced. Exceptional.
