| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2004 12 oz bottle. Clear orange with a nice tan head. Aroma is hoppy with carmel malty hints. Flavor is full of hops, balanced with a full chewey malt. An American ESB, I guess. rudolf (1751), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2004 Slightly buttery, faint hop aroma. Not much of a head. Good solid flavor, earthy hops and butter backed up with a nice heavy mouthfeel. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 24, 2004 A brownish red appearance with little head. Flavor was slightly bitter with some caramel and oranges. Palate was a little thin. Overall this was pretty good and good representation of an English bitter.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 24, 2004 Brownish-red color; aroma and flavor of grapefruit and malts; nicely hopped. Enjoyable brew. IPAndy (120), minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 22, 2004 Medium malt and hops, but little to none of the citrus from hops (maybe a bit of grapefruit). No head really... Nice color though, medium to dark amber. Gets better as it warms. I had some curry and came back to it and it improved a lot from the warming and the curry mingling. Floral scent/flavor comes forward as it warms. Not one of my favorites from the rogue folks. hershiser2 (905), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 21, 2004 Amber, with a small but fluffy head. Slightly citrus scented, but not overwhelming. A nice, stereotypical ESB flavor- it's above average, but not fantastic. antisnobJP (275), St. Michael, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 18, 2004 Bottle. Reddish amber classic "bitter" color. Has a homemade stale bread aroma with some floral hops. Creamy white head with very persistent lacing. Taste hits you with sweet caramelly malts and ample hop bitterness. Not too complex-thank god. a little fruity. Umm, sweet Goldings. Straightforward special bitter that is highly drinkable.
