| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Apperance is a clear light brown color with weak tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor mild; sweet of sugar, malt, fruit, minimal hops. simonbilyk (43), Maine, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Sep 1, 2009 12oz bottle. Perfectly clear and light brown, creamy head has lasted the entire mug. Aroma is clean, slight resin from hops, some cherry and perhaps a little burnt sugar. First gulp contains glorious rum like flavor. Very light hopping lets the sugar and darker malt show through. It’s smashing with garlic scrambled eggs. I want to keeeep drinking, and definitely want to taste more ESBs. Yay beer! BeerFanDan17 (610), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Aug 24, 2009 Kinda misses the spot. Not sure the style they’re going for here. Bit of malt and no strong hop flavor to note. Somewhat watery--probably the worst of the 8-pack sampler of lakefront. drowland (1390), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 21, 2009 Sweet up front with a definite tart that hits the sides of your tongue. Finishes with a nice balance of hoppy bitterness. MmmcKay (276), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Opaque orange-brown and copper in color. Nose of honeyed biscuits or cornbread. Nice palette, good mouthfeel. Simple in flavor but tasty. Gentle zapprentice (310), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 13, 2009 Ehh. Aroma is grainy, nothing of note. Flavor is very similar. This beer is just kind of there. ben4321 (994), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma: Caramel malts, light hop nose, bit of fruit (cherry?), an almost medicinal quality
Appearance: Hazy amber-orange color, decent off-white head, some light lacing
Flavor: Similar to the nose, but kind of weak/light, some malts, some hops, not a lot there
Palate: Decent mouthfeel, long finish, decent amount of body
Overall Impression:
It’s an alright ESB, decent flavor, easy to drink, not bad, but a bit dull. jbye4334 (658), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
