May 23, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a medium-sized, white head that lefts generous layers of lacing on the way down.
Smell: Dry, crumbly, toasted biscuits seasoned with a good dose of spices. Faroff notes of dried citrus rind and creme caramel.
Taste: Toasted biscuit maltiness with a restrained caramel sweetness. Fairly spicy hop character, maybe a hint of citrus, too. Medium bitterness is quite clean. Lingering hoppiness and hint of breadcrusts.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Fine, flavorful ESB from Left Hand.

May 22, 2008 Bottle. Dark caramel pour with a tan, moderately thick head with large bubbles and decent lacing. Aromas of caramel, toast, milk chocolate, roasty malt, and hops. Strong flavors of caramel and toast up front that lead to a bitter, hoppy finish. Great mouthfeel - nice combination of carbonation and smoothness. I like this ale.

May 16, 2008 Updated: May 24, 2008Little carbonation, but GREAT, foamy head. Orange-amber color. Not too much to the aroma. Flavor is mellow, but tasty. Slightly hoppy. Pretty tame, easy to drink. Just enough flavor to keep you from getting too bored.

May 14, 2008 Bottle. Copper beer with dense beige head. Crisp floral aroma. Soft palate, tastes of caramel with a little bittersweet chocolate. Not very hoppy, clean finish.

May 10, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber color with a small off white head. Smells of light piney hops and grapefruit citrus. Probably more of the fruity citrus comes through than pine though. Pretty fresh and crisp tasting, although maybe a touch overcarbonated on the palate. The flavor is mostly the same citrus and hop mix. Nothing really different, or interesting for that matter, comes out in the taste. A little bit earthy, with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Pretty uninspiring, but certainly drinkable.

May 9, 2008 Hazy copper with a pretty small tan head. Really earthy, dry toffee aroma. Some custard, pears too. Nice malty body belies the alcohol strength, a bit salty in the mouthful. Dry, fruity flavour, has lots of those earth tones you can only find in fuggles, it works really well. Toffee flavours and a slight hint of sweetness hit near the finish, which is otherwise fairly quick. A good beer, but I dont think I could drink too much of it for some reason.

May 7, 2008 Last reviewer nailed it, copper color, small head, sweet malt with slightly larger hop presense than expected.
Very good ESB.
