Jabswitch (206), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 13, 2006 Copper color, slight head. A bit of sweetness in the aroma. Expected a more bitter hoppy taste. The flavor did have depth - definitely was pleasant tasting. Not as lively has I like - I go for a more carbonated brew. This was my first ESB - probably wouldn’t buy a six-pack of this but will try another bottle down the road. benfergy (46), Valley City, North Dakota, USA Jul 6, 2006 Brownish amber appearance, not too carbonated. Somewhat weak aroma. Quite hoppy flavor. Very easy going down. A good beer, just not an especially aromatic one. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jul 5, 2006 Heads up but quickly disappears. Not really bitter of course, but actually pretty nice. Malty for sure, but begins in a non-gross way. A pleasant surprise that stays consistent throughout. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jun 29, 2006 12 oz bottle. Clear copper color with bubbly off white head, Aroma is a combination of light sprucy hops and malty caramel. Pleasant cereal grain flavor accented by sprucy hop flavor and hop bitterness that lasts throughout and lingers. Pretty good. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jun 25, 2006 12 oz bottle. Cloudy orange-copper beer, thin white head. Smelly diacetyl aroma, metallic and candy sweet. Sweet caramel with loads of rotten fruit throughout. Flavour is sour along with all of the aforementioned nastiness. Not good. beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA Jun 13, 2006 (04.29.06) On tap at Firkin’s, Libertyville, IL. Poured hazy amber with large white head. Soft carbonation. Spice and sweet malt aroma. Medium bodied ale that starts dry with malt, spice, and toffee flavors. Finished dry with light hop bitterness. A very good mild drinkable bitter that goes well with food. greenhorn1 (458), Mission Viejo, California, USA May 21, 2006 I was bored with this beer. Not much to say except it was lacking in all areas. Very watered down without much umph. This organic ESB needs to be beefed up. ratman197 (3137), Arvada, Colorado, USA May 12, 2006 Bottle poured a clear amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of burnt carmel, abit of fruitiness and a hint of citrus. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of burnt carmel, brown sugar and light fruitiness with a smooth slightly bitter finish.
