I love a good ESB, but this one was too hoppy at the end. Amber color, smooth witha bit of bitterness. Would not be my choice for an ESB.

jgentgesdo (596) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - JUN 24, 2004
Hops and wheat to the nose, nutty, bitter flavor, slight soapiness at the end. Not the best bitter.

Clear Amber Coloring. Slightly bitter, nutty. Scotland can do better in my opinion.

11026 (1772) - Alabama, USA - JUN 6, 2004
On tap. Poured with a thin, white, quick dissapearing head. Minimal to no lacing. Carbonation was low. Malty flavor, slightly nutty. A little thin. Slight hopping at the end. Run of the mill.

wilkie (1209) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAY 24, 2004
Clear amber with decent white head. Maltiness in aroma. Nice malty flavor with moderate hoppy finish. Decent, but not great.

haddon90 (1200) - Tustin, California, USA - MAY 22, 2004
Clear light amber pour wiht a frothy white head. Grainy malt in the aroma, with a touch of hops. Kind of bitter as well. Bitter taste, hint of nuts, caramel, malt, and a little bit of hops. Overall, pretty decent. It kind of left me wanting more. Bought this 12 oz bottle at Total Wine in Manassas, VA.

Darkover (1440) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 9, 2004
UPDATED: FEB 16, 2005 Clear amber color with a small beige head. Grainy malt aroma. Flavor of malt, nuts and caramel. Pretty drinkable.

garrison (652) - Cin. city, Ohio, USA - MAY 8, 2004
From a bottle - This poured a thin, quickly diminishing head with a very present sweet malt aroma, although its taste is a bit on the thin side. Drinkable, but nothing to rave about.
