Apr 12, 2008 This seems like a pretty weak ESB. Color is light brown, maybe some orange in there. Not much head or lacing. Sweet fruity aroma such as oranges or mango. This is an easy drinking beer with pretty good balance but it just seems a little bland. There’s a fruity malt note with some faint bitter hops and a pretty clean finish but the whole thing just seems watered down a little. Overall it’s OK but it’s not a very good ESB.

Apr 8, 2008 Nice malt smell to this amber red ale. Great malt flavor with some hops in the end. Great beer.

Apr 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with a minimal head. Smells of light sweet malt. The taste is very simple and unpronounced, primarily noble hops, and not much of them.

Mar 28, 2008 I really liked this chica. Very toned and balanced. Not hoppy at all, but I find that in many ESBs too much hoppy isn’t necessarily a good thing, as it usually just upsets their delicate balance instead of adding bang to the gun. The word pleasant comes to mind. Not exciting or Wow!, but would I do it again? Well I don’t know.

Mar 25, 2008 1st ESB, and I’m not sure this is consistent, but it’s good. It’s obviously hoppy in aroma, with malt notes as well. It’s appearance is a reddish amber. It’s flavor is very pleasing sweet and nutty, with some malt. It’s not astringent like I’d expected. Very nice

Mar 16, 2008 Yeast dominates the aroma with light amounts of malts and even less of hops. Hazy orange color with a small tan head. Mildly sweet beginning with a nutty finish.

Mar 10, 2008 July 2007 - Beer pours a chestnut brown color with beauty head and a little lacing. No aroma at all. None. Flavor was bready malty with a touch of caramel sweetness and a slight bitterness. Not a bad ESB...but a tad boring.
