2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20 Fredis23 (94) - Illinois, USA - MAY 22, 2013
Light Brown, Minimal Head, Minimal Lacing. Lightly Toasted, Malty. Winter? Not really. Too Thin. Why Winter? May call it Spring IPA and it won’t make any difference.IPA? Definitely Not. Not enough hops present to make it a hoppy and bitter brew. ESB which is not remarkable, just ok....

Bottle. Pale brown beer with residual head. Aroma of malt and toffee. Taste is a bit of malt. Very watery and quite fizzy, bordering on a lager on the palate. Poor.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 suprchunk (1402) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - MAY 11, 2013
Orange/amber pour. Small white/off-white head. Plenty of lacing. Roasted aroma. Malt and a slight hop aroma. Taste is the same. Not very bitter in the back. Mostly sweet. Not a bad beer.

Bottle at home. Nose is nutty brown malt, some earthy hop. Amber brown in colour, thin loose white head. Aroma also has a lager yeast nose. Palete is thin and watery. Medium carbonation. Flavour is malt semi sweet. fruity yeast ester. some metalic flavour. Drinkable but to call this an IPA is crazy.

A decent ESB.Aroma was all malt. Caramel and earth in the nose. Pour was a nice amber with no head. Taste was alright for a session beer. Strong caramel malt backbone with a hint of ginger and spices. Almost graham cracker finish. Nice carbonation. A lot better than I was expecting.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 BlackIPA (722) - Rochester, New York, USA - APR 1, 2013
IPA? Umm...no. ESB? Yup. Pours a clear amber with almost no head. Aromas of caramel and spice. Gingerbread taste, with graham cracker and a touch of clove. Not bad. Id scroll past in the future though.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Chudwick (1089) - Taylor Mill, Kentucky, USA - MAR 31, 2013
12oz bottle - pours amber with ivory head and thin lacing. Nose is floral caramel. Flavor adds grass and a hint of resin. Slightly sweet and mildly bitter. Easy to drink. Quite different from the standard Newcastle. Bottle says IPA and RB says premium Bitter/ESB. This is light for either style while remaining inoffensive. To weak ABV-wise for my liking as a "winter" beer. Despite all this tedious research behind the making of the label, the question is, will I buy another? No. Do I regret shelling out $2 for this? No.
