dimenhetfield (157), , Florida, USA Oct 16, 2009 Pretty small for a ESB. Has a small bite that can be pleasant, but it leaves you wanting more. It has a dark brown color when poured and a small off white foam head. A little hoppy but lacks character that a ESB should have. Hopper (271), San Antonio, Texas, USA Oct 15, 2009 A amber-brown beer with little head. The aroma is sweet, & the taste is malty sweet, with a dash of hops. Way too sweet. Blah brewski519 (395), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA Oct 7, 2009 Tasted this ESB at WBF in Duham. Poured a clear copper color with a thin head. Aroma of malt, hops, floral and yeasty. Taste was more of a malty amber as opposed to bitter in my opinion but not bad. Just didn’t stand out though. HenrikSoegaard (4260), Randers, Denmark Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. Frothy white good mostly deminishing head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Nice. Moderate bitter flavor. Not very pleasent. MOderate bitter average finish. Oily palate. milewide (609), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Sep 27, 2009 True to style, this brew has an English hop bitterness, with limited malt sweetness. Dark amber color, and weak head. tennessejed420 (69), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 21, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours an amber gold with nice off white (slightly tan) head. Aroma of lemony hops. Tastes like citrusy hops with ever so slight malt malt balance. Watery, or at least a taste of water noticeable. This is not bad, but i think overrated. humulushound (109), British Columbia, Canada Sep 7, 2009 Amber color with an aroma of apricots, earthy malt and citrus hops. Flavor is caramel loaf, light red fruits, bitter hops and a warming finish. Body is medium with low carbonation. Good but not stand-out. brenn79 (140), Idaho, USA Sep 6, 2009 Updated: Sep 7, 200912 oz. bottle- FIRST DRINK- Malty, full flavor, not bad. LAST DRINK- Gets better as it warms, the malt is less prominent.
