Stoudts Scarlet Lady Ale ESB

Tap at Hop Devil Grill: Amber pour with an average light tan head. The nose has some nutty, crystal malt hints and a mild, berryish, fruity hop presence. Decent creamy carbonation. there’s a nice English Ale yeast character which compliments the mild, berry-like fruity character. There’s also a hint of rubber detectable when it warms, yet it still has a nutty malt back and a solid bitter finish. Well crafted, decent ESB.

Bottle, at Papsoe’s place. Clear, copper pour, with a beige head. Tea (Fuggles?), malt, dried fruits and some piney hops in the aroma. Sweet, caramel flavor with piny hops. Medium to full body, and a hoppy finish. Almost barley wine like, but a bit thin for that. A nice beer, still there is a slightly ordinary touch to it, but hey, I like the beer. (071005)

Light aroma, with a reddish amber color and small head. Flavor is hoppy and bitter, with a lingering afterbite. Enjoyable beer.

Pours a golden amber with a white head.Fruits and hops on the nose.Hops on the flavor with a distinct hop bite.The finish had some bitterness to it.

On tap at Marathon in West Philly. Clear rusty brown with a light white, bubbly skin. Aroma of strawberry jam and dried figs. Taste is kind of a sour brown sugar with pithy drying; cardboard aftertaste. Very mild bittering.

12oz bottle at Carr’s Restaurant, Lancaster, PA...pours a deep amber color with off-white head...bit of a floral aroma with some malt, light fruits and hops...flavor was of the same with some added brown sugar sweetness too it...pretty decent brew.

Pours a nice clear ruby color with a decent white head. Mildly hoppy nose. Flavor is soft malt, very smooth with a dash of hop bitterness in the finish. very drinkable. A good session beer.

Draft. Pour is a hazy amber color. Aroma of caramels and malts with a touch of hops. Flavor is surprisingly light, notes of brown sugar sweetness and a nice malt flavor as well. Good bitter finish to it as well.
