gsmitty80 (627), Washington DC, USA 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 Jun 26, 2008 This is a really nice ESB beer. It has a nice taste of caramel and hops. It is amber in color. I will be drinking it again. basewars (144), Albany, New York, USA Jun 24, 2008 Pours light brown. Aroma is hoppy with a bit of sweet maltiness. Tastes of caramel and hops, but nothing too special. Great beginner beer, and I would drink it again. redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA 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 (293), Maryland, USA 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 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. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 19, 2008 2008-06-24. Dark orange amber body, small off white head. Muted lightly hoppy aroma. Similar flavour, light hop, mild bitterness. Just a touch of a cardboard note along side a caramel malt character indicating it might be a touch past its prime - but I also assumed this was an American Pale, I see now that it is not. Average palate. Bottle from Mabel’s Florida trip. rmussman (905), California, USA Jun 15, 2008 Sampled in a 22. Very nice. Has a dark brown hue and a nice malty finish. Aftertaste is smooth and nice. Overall a very nicely made beer.
