| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Jul 4, 2008 poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Aroma is lacking, but then again, I just had a hefe. A little hint of grass in the nose, maybe from the hops. App is very clear for an ale, nice dark gold color, not quite red. Small head that dissipated quickly. Slightly bitter in the taste, low hop aroma. I’m not sure what they were shooting for here, but it’s an ok beer. Not very malty, not very hoppy, not dark, not light. I’d drink this if there wasn’t anything left, but I’d ask twice if they was anything else. gsmitty80 (638), Washington DC, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 28, 2008 I thought that this was a good beer although it wasnt really an esb but more of an amber ale in my humble opinion. Good aroma and notes of sweet bitterness come off the pour. The taste is hoppy with a hard finsh that stays with you for a little. MikeRa (12), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Caramel malts with some spicy hops, with hints of pine. Pours amber with a white head. Caramelly, sweet crystal malts, with spicy hops. Good ESB, makes a good session beer! Vas19 (299), Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Pours clear amber with a medium sized white head. Aroma is malty with a touch of hops. Hop and malt flavors balance nicely, however neither is very outstanding. Mouthfeel is good. Ok beer. vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Pours clear light bronze with a soapy light tan head. The aroma has caramel malt, light hops, a touch of sourdough and some cane sugar. Medium / light crisp body with gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with metalic caramel malt and some non-descript bitter hops. The finish seems oxidized, but it has a fairly fresh bottling date. Fair.
