truegen (138), Puyallup, Washington, USA Mar 16, 2008 12oz. bottle. Slightly cloudy orange color topped with a pleasing beige head. Aroma is a bit faint and unremarkable. The flavor however is then a surprise, holding a tangy citrus and slightly peppery bite. Finishes clean. Most of the hops stay on the middle of the tongue. A little on the dry side for an ESB, but that’s not a bad thing.
milljam (166), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Nov 28, 2008 Not really anywhere near an actual English ESB. Overall, nothing really stood out. jimmack34 (158), Ohio, USA Nov 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich copper color with slight off white head. Smells hoppy and sweet. Tastes like bread grains, sweet malts, bittersweet hops, a little sugary. Very good. KnutAlbert (2462), Oslo, Norway Oct 28, 2008 Bottle from Oddbins, London.
