Feb 22, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a dark amber body with a medium off-white head which lingered throughout. Caramel and hops notes in its aroma, with signs of malt. Medium mouthfeel, with moderate bitterness, along with medium carbonation. Good hops flavor with a slight nutty sweetness. Not bad, a little metallic, though not bad at all.

Feb 21, 2008 on tap, good somewhat sweet tasting malt, carbonated about right, did not particularly notice the hops that they are talking about, first left hand in some time, usually a good brewery

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle. Copper colour, medium head. Slightly smoked aroma. Rather watery palate and bland flavour, without much of a finish. Not bad, but not very good either.

Feb 17, 2008 Pours an amber colour with an off-white head. Hoppy on the nose - mostly lemon peel - also some malty caramel notes. Taste is a bit hoppy with some caramel notes. Very thin on the mid-palate! The finish is quite watery with some bitterness. I was a bit disappointed by this one.

Feb 12, 2008 Pours light amber brown forming little to no foamy head. Aroma of malts, some hops, a bit of caramel with nut spice. Flavour is of a somewhat typical bitter, malty with some nutty, caramel finish. Not my fave style, but drinkable. Seems like theres some vanilla extract in there too. Overall fair beer, drinkable but not what I would keep in my frig.

Feb 10, 2008 Oct. 2006 - Beer poured amber brown, decent head. Flavor and aroma were bready with some woody mustiness that was really pleasant. Some floral notes rounded out a nice tasting brew. A bit thin, but enjoyable.

Feb 10, 2008 Pours a clear iced tea brown with a frothy off-white head that leaves behind wispy lace. The nose features toasted malt with lesser notes of nuts and sweetbread. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a clean, lightly dry and mildly bitter finish. The flavor is fairly simple but pleasing, with toasted caramel malt up front and a lightly astringent and bitter hop finish. Not a bad ESB; this is a solid session beer.

Feb 9, 2008 brown/orange in color, minimal frothy head. hazy. nose of hops and grapes. smells quite pleasing to me. surprisingly smooth. the initial taste was intimidating but it smoothed out great. tasted to me, as if an apricot got into a fist fight with a grape. really enjoyed the flavor. not as bitter as i was expecting as this was my first ESB. very pleasing.
