| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 23, 2008 Pours a golden orange with a small soapy white head. Aroma of malts, and a little fruit.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2008 On tap at the Ginger Man. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of light fruits (esp. raspberry), wheat. The aroma is very inviting and the beer smells better than it tastes. Watery palate. Flavor of light fruits (blueberry), raisin, dark fruits (esp as the beer warms). An odd mesh of flavors. Just ok for me. fredandboboflo (1431), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2008 On tap at Ginger Man. Surprisingly rich aroma of toasted malt, bread, red and dark fruits, most notable plum. Flavor kind of a letdown, breadiness disappears, leaving some weak malt and less fruitiness. Pretty watery. Big fan of Fullers ESB, so this was a letdown. spagyetti (68), Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Bottle. A cool Bitter. Soundly crafted and a smooth talker. Enjoyment may come from location and company, as apposed to experience with this Bitter. Still, not to be missed. jeffwilliams11 (310), hooterville, Michigan, USA
