gunhaver (1024), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 3, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Amber colored. Not much going on in the aroma department; mostly traces of alcohol. The taste is good, yummy, and easily drinkable. A nice aftertaste. puboflyons (589), New Hampshire, USA Jul 2, 2007 A 1 pint 09 fl oz bottle with an expiration date of 03 Dec 07. Powerful aroma of malts. Pours caramel-red and a bit opaque. Nice foamy head that susides a bit but not entirely. Feels heavy in my mouth. Sweet and smooth, that’s for sure. Yummy stuff. But over 1,000 raters before me already confirmed that. Can I have another? rmalloy (195), los angeles, California, USA Jun 30, 2007 Hooray real beer. Semi-opaque amber with a lovely head. Burnt caramel, butterscotch, and pine in the nose. Not too sweet--love the sweetness that is there though. Not too bitter. Resiny pine and some bitter hops. Good with food (I had it with spicy Chinese). AR (417), Georgia, USA Jun 30, 2007 Burnt orange color. The hops are balanced with a fruity malt flavoring. This is a smooth and palatable beer that should be suitable in a variety of situations. alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Jun 30, 2007 Draught @ The Pub. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head. Aroma was mainly fruity hops. The flavor opens with light malts and fruit. The hoppy bitterness soon follows. This is pretty well balanced. Medium bodied, smooth and clean. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jun 29, 2007 Updated: Sep 21, 2008500 mL, best before Dec 07. Clear copper with a medium-sized and mostly lasting head. Wow, great aroma: rich fruit and honey, graham cracker and spicy-metallic hops. Flavor is rich caramel, slowly turning to dark fruits, then to dryish spices and delicate (but noticeable) bitter herbs on the end. Palate is medium-bodied and smooth with the perfect dryness on the finish. This is a great one-and-done selection, as well as possibly the best session beer ever made. swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Jun 26, 2007 Bottle. Clear amber with malty nose. Best ESB I’ve had to date. Malty with some bitterness. Very good tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Jun 26, 2007 500 ml bottle. Clear amber color. Small, vanishing beige head. Roasted, sweet malt, hints of liqorice in flavor. Bitterdry aftertaste. A bit thin.
