Jan 4, 2008 Pours a beautiful crystal clear redish-amber, with a decent head. Excellent sweet, caramel, malty aroma. Flavor is nutty, and you certainly get a mouthful of the Goldings, and a bit of that Fuller’s yeast. Nice bitter finish, but never hoppy. Palate is okay, but I’d have preferred it to be a bit heavier. Overall a good ESB.

Dec 29, 2007 What a nose! A collection of ginger, cinnamon and buttermilk pancakes all wrapped in a blanket of caramel. That caramel blanket is evident to the eye in the beers appearence. Again, caramel and hops are the dominant flavours, while some fresh cream comes through in the middle. A faint hint of mushrooms at the end. Quite a bitter but short finish.

Dec 28, 2007 Bottle from Gf’s family. Light amber with light beige head. Slight caramel and spicy nobel hops. Rather boring nut and caramel flavor with slight hop spice. Medium body. Okay, but pretty boring, especially put side by side with Alsmith’s Anvil ESB.

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle at Stuff Yer Face. Pour was a light amber with a small diminishing head. Flavor was very malty, a bit of caramal with spicy hops at the end. Good session brew. I’m fairly new to this style so I’m still learning. With that said I liked this beer. But not in love with it.

Dec 21, 2007 Bottle: Pours very nice brown with tan head. Aromas of malt with some hops. Tastes well balanced malt up front, with pleasant bitterness on the tail end. Excellent!

Dec 19, 2007 Pours a clear pale amber with a decent, small bead, off-white head that lingers. Bready aroma with some spice. Sweet toasted malt taste with caramel, some citrus notes, and grassiness. Fairly well balanced flavors with some assertive hoppiness at the end. Very good.

Dec 18, 2007 A nice and perfectly balanced beer, that said its not mine type off beer. The aroma has notes off grain, caramel and some citrus. Most off the aromas I also found in the flavor profil.

Dec 18, 2007 One of my new favorite styles, this beer is very beautiful. Nice head, wonderful hop caramel and aroma. Bitter taste, with caramel and alcohol also present. Very nice "British" flavour. A very nice beer.
