| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 17, 2008 I rather enjoyed this brew. It was very fresh when I purchased it so that accounts for this. Well mixed with a golden color and a small frothy head. Aroma was weak and unpleasant, but not unbearable. Flavor was expected with no surprises. A short lived grassy aftertaste accompanied my last couple of sips but it didn’t offset the overall taste. ChainGangGuy (2555), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 13, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-brown body with a frothy, medium-sized, white head.
Smell: Mild nose of bready maltiness, faint hint of berries, and a spicy hop presence.
Taste: Lightly sweet malts with a taste of toasted breadcrusts. Touch of fruitiness. Spicy hops impart a light bitterness. A bit more malty sweetness before a rather abrupt, though crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Somewhat harsh carbonation, I must say.
Drinkability: Fairly middle-of-the-road when it comes to the noble ESB style. TheBeerBaron (219), Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Copper color, medium off white head and lively carbonation constantly rising to the top - good looking. Initial sweet wheat aroma and orange that gives way to a cleansing tangy hop smell. Can the organic ingredients be the reason for such high marks in look and aroma? Will it carry over to taste? A tangy hop gives the tongue a fresh bitter flavor that then sweetens, giving this beer the opposite taste sensation than most ESB’s I tried. Palate is just right. This is the best Lakefront beer I tried. Clearly premium ingredients make a difference. Ughsmash (3999), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 8, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear medium orange with a short cap of beige head. The aroma picked up honey, pine, and pale malts.. slight sour fruit at the back.. sweet overall, a little strange, and not very enjoyable. The flavor had a little more of the sourness along with honey and bready sweetness.. grainy back led to a sticky-sweet finish. Lighter-bodied with an odd array of sweet and sour notes..ugly sticky impression at the finish. Not very good. slugstout (18), Zig Zag, Oregon, USA

A fant hint of maltiness. Pours slightly hazy copperish-brown. Small head with no lacing or retention. Weird taste. Very sweet. Like gummy bears. HonkeyBra (1324), Lemont, Illinois, USA
