3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20It was a real ale! I was surprised! Well not really since its got that silly name. Overall, not bad the aroma was lacking and the taste slightly mild.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
Fragrance of malt with a hint of brown sugar/ molasses. Pours an amber with a none lasting white head and no lacing. The taste is malty with a grainy finish. Not heavy on the bitter aspect. Medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, enjoyable but may not be the best example of an ESB.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Rather too foamy frothed out. Light lemony aroma. Citrus bitterness in the rather bland flavour. Thin finish
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a cloudy orange with a fluffy ecru head. Crisp, clean flavors of caramel, grassy hops, even a bit of apple. Very earthy and, well, organic.
It doesn’t exactly have big, bold flavors, but it’s not bad. At 5% ABV, this would be a very nice lawn mower beer. Or a gateway into craft beer for the uninitiated.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Hazy yellow pour with soapy off white head. Notes of wet dog, old honey, and clover.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bronze body, decent head. Light crystal malt graininess. Muted hop and a bit metallic odor. Rather bland body. It has a light grain body and very muted hoppyness. Slightly tannic cereal grain finish, perhaps a touch of cardboard and soap.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Whole Foods, Bowery 11.2oz ($3): Pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is toffee, slight lemony citrus, and some doughy like stuff. Taste is slightly sour, with a sustained bitterness throughout. Pretty easy to drink, but I think the body is actually lacking. I think it could have been a bit heavier and better. Seems like a half-assed beer... thought the lager was better.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours a brilliant deep gold with a thick, luxurious white head. Little aroma - just a touch of toasty malt. slightly nutty flavor. Hops only come to play in the dry, somewhat bitter finish. Very drinkable if, perhaps, forgettable.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Cloudy amber pour with white head that quickly disappeared. Spice, apple, hop, bread, medicine and a bit of grape. A nice medium body ale with nice creamy bubbles and smooth finish. Really nice.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330ml bottle from Sainsburys, shared with Finn. Gushing bottle. Cloudy golden, a few spots to the glassware. Aroma of oily hops and grass. Half-bitter oranges in flavour. Refreshing citrus fruits to the finish. Half-dry. Average (hotel room, London 06.11.2012)
