GG (1613), NorCal, California, USA Jan 12, 2007 Well, if you could give extra poits for being average, then this would rank really high. An aroma of sweet malts, subtle hops, and caramel. Flavors were malts, small hops with a slight carbonation being present. Not bad. Ungstrup (14760), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 11, 2007 A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is very sweet with light notes of caramel and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of toffee and caramel, leading to a dry end with notes of nuts. nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 1, 2007 Draft. Ruby red with a white head. Hoppy aroma, metallic, sweet malt. Similar palate, not hugely complex. Simple and clean. Drinkable. Not bad, good bitter notes. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 31, 2006 Updated: Mar 17, 2008Draft. Aroma is hoppy, almost smelling the bitterness. Very red look with thin head. Good flavor that is hoppy and well balanced with slight carbonation. Smooth and a good palate.
Update: Cask - Had this at WhichBrew where the brewers brought down a cask of this. Really nice hoppy aroma. The flavor was so soft and seemed to melt on your tongue with the hoppiness , which was light but flavorfull, performed spirals in the mouth. So freaking good. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Dec 23, 2006 Bottle from Total Wine, THE place for beer in town. Pours a ruby red color with a thin head. Has a nice sweet malt flavor with a blast of hops. Nice tasting, but not the best ESB I have had. AR (417), Georgia, USA Dec 12, 2006 Reddish/orange color. Hoppy, but not too strong of flavor that was dry and smooth. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Dec 11, 2006 A decently balanced esb. I found myself sticking with the lady at the inviational just cause there were too dam many peolpe there, and the stoudt’s taps had shorter lines. Not overly hoppy and goes down nicely with knockwurst.
Cheapdark needs to get out more...goat face?? yikes. cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 8, 2006 Updated: Dec 9, 2006Who’s that lady? Check out the flowers in her hair and.... if it was possible, has an attractive goat face like a female ram. Brown 12 oz bottle. Nothing about the pour is special except it is a medium brownish color, not scarlet as expected. Smells like a hint of candy apple or cotton candy. Flavor commences with a kind of hoppy or malt flavor then almost fades into a hint chocolaty smoothness. Finish is not offensive but lingers, tho not bitter, with a little hops malt roastyness. An oily texture?
