| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 21, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear amber with a creamy white head that leaves sheets of lace, due to being a nitro pour. Light body, and a light, vacant taste. A bit of butterscotch on the dry finish. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

8/19/2007: North Fork ESB is an orangy-amber color. Its dense, off-white head is long-lasting and leaves thick, solid lacing very much like a beer induced with nitrogen might leave. The aroma is creamy and buttery. The flavor has vanilla, a butter toffee maltiness, and a mellow bitterness that is slightly citrusy and herbal. This ESB is nicely balanced overall and has a medium body with creamy and mellow texture.
Draught sample at The North Fork Brewery - Pizzeria - Beer Shrine in Deming, Washington. Rating #8 for this beer... omhper (12335), Stockholm, Sweden

Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel and notes of ash. Spicy bitterness. The malt character is simplistic and way too hard to be pleasant. Oakes (8172), Beyond the Great Firewall, China
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 13, 2005 Hazy brick colour. Toasty, caramelly aroma and palate. Sligtht earthiness and phenols. Rather poorly developed flavour profile. Sort of fizzy, which isn’t normal in their beers. Not up to their usually high standards. As it seemingly wasn’t much when mjames visited and it is low season at North Fork, I wonder if this beer hasn’t been sitting around too long. I’ll give this another shot in winter. ¾ (5012), Boulder, Colorado, USA

Murky brown color, some orange hues as well. Flavor is crisp and light, while the body is still a little thick. Hoppy, sweet lemons, starchy, and a little sour with a grain and husk flavor of corn cobs and hay. Not so good, but drinkable. The nose has some corn, but also some banana and grapes.
