May 26, 2007 Draft at the Library in Norman, OK... Pours a big white fluffy head, mostly lasting... Notes of caramel with a hop-back on the finish of the palate... Nice, solid body... Good session beer...

May 25, 2007 Aroma is slightly sweet and floral, very English. Yeah, looks great, copper colored with a nice little puffy white head that laces nicely. Flavor is nicely balanced. Malty with a distinct bitter finish. Medium bodied. I mean, as far as ESB’s go, pretty good, but not the type of beer I’ll ever crave.

May 25, 2007 A little watery and thin. Lightly hopped. Not good at all when cold, attractive malt flavor begins to show when warm, but just not quite enough ooomph for me.

May 22, 2007 Pours a copper/caramel color with a nice white head. Musty aroma on first pour, but as the beer warmed slightly, the floral hop notes became more pronounced and wonderful. Tasty bitterness rolling across my palate. Bitterness was pleasant and not overdone. I enjoyed this beer tremendously and was shocked to see it scoring so poorly in here. This is a complex brew that I thought was fabulous.

May 19, 2007 Had on tap. Poured a pretty copper color, nice cream head. Taste was pretty much caramel and hops. Too much hops for my liking...But an okay beer.

May 14, 2007 355ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki , American Week 2007).
Usual US tasty sweet bitter smell - cascade meets candifloss. Taste has a harsh quality, almost metallic that spoils the rich bitterness. Not worthy of the "ESB" moniker. Do I taste saccharin? Some strawberry sweetness - and that’s not a positive thing in this context.
