jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Jan 13, 2007 Pours light amber with a small white head. Light grassy, floral, and roasty malt aroma. Flavor is a bit watery, but there is still a nice hop character and roasty malt notes. Palate is light/medium, resiny hops, watery, and a bit of roasty nutty malt. Not bad, just not a whole lot going on. Could certainly drink a bunch of these though. paulmetzger (152), Pocatello, Idaho, USA Jan 13, 2007 Quite red amber very clear with plenty of carbonation. Aroma is most noticeably grapefruit and other citrus. Just a hint of sweet fruits. Starts fairly dry, there’s a nice hop bite, and then finishes smooth and only a little sweet. Slightly metallic. A remarkably drinkable ale. thefederalist (226), Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA Jan 13, 2007 Pours amber with a nice head. Aroma is malty and grassy. Flavor is nutty and a little funk from one of the hops. I am beginning to think that there is a particular hop variety that I am not fond of because this flavor appears in many beers. Otherwise a nice, drinkable ESB. Tranquillity (1165), Espoo, Finland Jan 12, 2007 Weird aroma. Sweet brea-yeast flavour, some perfume. Medium-brown colour, small white head which disappears. Nice sweet taste, short bitterness. After a while it gets boring and too sweet. sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland Jan 11, 2007 (Bottled) Quite clear, darkish amber color with a smallish-medium head. Mild, berry-winous aroma. Sweetish berry flavor. Medium-bodied palate with smooth carbonation. A quite modest brew. I had a nice rating of this one, but it got lost, thanks to my Nokia E70, and had to rewrite the whole thing. Oh well... kreepindeth (405), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA Jan 7, 2007 This beer has gotten me into ESBs. Extremely well balanced beer. Malt and hops are both present. Starts out with sweet toasty malts and ends in a light hoppy bite. ford9719 (369), Vilseck, Germany Dec 30, 2006 Bottle. Poured a golden color with a white head. Aroma of citrus. Has a hoppy taste with a citrus aftertaste. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Dec 29, 2006 22 oz. bottle from AJ’s Fine Food - Pours a clear amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Light spotty lacing. Has a toated malt and herbal hop aroma. Light malt flavor. Palate is thin and bitter. Light to medium body. Worth a try.
