| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2008 A very nice American version of the English ESB. The US touches of a bit more hop bite adds to the brew. You could make a real nice evening with this at your local zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA

Aroma: Caramel, citrus, grain, lemon, mild yeasty cheese. Taste: Light to medium body. Nice blend of mild flavors. Finishes with a good mellow spice. Covers palate well. Doesn’t go over the top.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 12, 2008 Red, or some sot of reddish color. Foamy, loose white head. Bready, toasty, caramelly aroma. Flavor is crisp and resiny, almost verging on pale ale territiry. Pretty tasty stuff. moseslikesbeer (183), conestoga, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of hops and a little malt.Light ruby in color with a thin tan head. Lots of carbonation. Very light grapefruit taste with a hint of malt. A little too tangy in the finish for a bitter but a nice drinker. doogie (24), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 28, 2008 Pours reddish brown with an off-white head. It has a light aroma of sweet malt. I think the flavor is a nice balance of malt and hops for an interesting taste. It is smooth and not too much carbonation like some ESB’s can have. A clean finish with that nice hint of bitterness.
A nice beer. dkachur (2352), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine Broad St. Richmond, VA. Brownish red with a small head. Very malty aroma w/ brown sugar, molasses. Smooth, malty taste with molasses and very subtle bitterness. Taste is a little disappointing considering the aroma, but still pleasant. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Smells and looks good, and the flavor is a reasonable facsimile of Fuller’s ESB. There’s something missing, however. It lacks the depth and balance of Fuller’s. It also lacks a little sweetness, caramel or toffee or butterscotch, that would really round out the brew. Still, it’s a pretty good beer.
