| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2005 Bottle from Sainsburys. Amber with a small white head. Aromas are sweet pine hops and citrus, quite dry and "USA hopping"-like in its character. Flavours are sweet citrus followed by woody, nutty flavours. Some sweet pine with a dry earthy finish. A very nice beer. Remember, the more premium overseas beers beers we buy from Sainsburys the more beers they will stock. DanielBrown (1919), Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2005 Bottle from Sainsburys, Selly Oak, Birmingham. Smells precisely as it should - like a UK Bitter, fused with US hops. A little bit of plastic malt in the flavour - dragging in the finish. Has some fresh hop, but it’s a background thing. Fairly refreshing, but has an artificial edge. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2005 Pours light copper with a lasting white head. Mild earthy hop aroma, with some citric and woody notes. Delicate malt flavours balanced perfectly with a nice hoppy finish. Very nice bitter. Jonathan3584 (323), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 4, 2005 Good for the style. Unfortunately I find it a bit underhopped -- I was hoping for a more American style ESB. My standards for bitterness are just too inflated for the British. johndoughty (2156), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
