Jul 10, 2004 Decent little ale, full head nice color. Tasted slightly hoppy and a little malty, enjoyable.

Dec 16, 2004 This appeared a clear amber color with about 2 fingers worth of frothy white head. The head quickly died down to a cap of bubbles leaving sparse lacing around the glass. All I can pick up in the nose is the sweet caramel malt. The taste was similar with caramel malt dominating and a slightly fruity sweetness joining it. Even though the finish is slightly bitter the sweetness is still a little excessive. This is about a medium body brew with good carbonation. I easily finished this and could have had another if not for the eventually overbearing sweetness. Overall a decent ESB but there are better choices available.

Feb 25, 2008 Pours amberish, rocky head. Toasted malts, nutty. Lingering hop finish, with some citrus. Good.

Apr 12, 2006 Aroma is faint, but slightly vegetal with some meaty umami notes. Dark amber in color with a quickly diminishing thumb thick white (at start) head. Fore is very light tasting with some bready grain notes, mild honey/apple sweetness and some very faint citric notes. Overall it is pretty refreshing, but has a heavy crispness to it that lets you know that it is no lager.

Feb 7, 2005 Bottle. Pours a reddened amber body with a small white head. Nose is toasty malts, light caramel and light hops. Taste is nicely hopped and slightly spicy and earthy . More toasted malts and light caramel or toffee notes also. Body is surprisingly full bodied with a medium-full carbonation feel. Finishes with more earthy and lightly spiced hops along with light bitterness and toasty malts. Minimal sweetness in the finish. Some dry notes during the finish as well. Not too bad!

I have to call this an "easy drinker" as I just swigged down two before realizing I hadn’t jotted down a single note. Pours a bright copper with a large, cream-colored head that (at just above cellar temp) leaves a wicked semblance of lacing. Citric hops and wet dog in the nose above stale, caramel nuttiness. Balanced flavor showcasing those nutty malts with a hint of honey-sweetness before ending with light bitterness. These are good and, like I mentioned, they go down fast.

Mar 1, 2006 Pours a nice reddish orange color. Aromas of nice citrus/grapefruit hops and sweet malts. Flavor starts nice crisp bitter hop and then mellows to a nice dry finish.

Jun 21, 2007 Carbonated golden amber pour. Started drinking this too cold. Leaves a brash grassy hop taste at first. When it warms the toasted malt shines. A rich English style ale.
