Aug 13, 2006 sampled at Andy’s Corner Bar on tap. Poured a deep amber with a medium off white head. Aroma is malty with some floral hops. Taste is sweet malt with some bittering hops up front and a small amount of hops in the finish. well balanced.

Aug 7, 2006 This is a pretty good ESB. I have no real complaints other than I feel most classic ESB’s should have a little more hop flavor. Not really a requirement for the style, but I think it tastes better.

Aug 4, 2006 Malt aroma. Some bite. Major fault in the metallic finish. Bad bottle? Not seeing this complaint in others’ ratings.

Jul 28, 2006 Not my favorite ESB. Aroma is a little lager-like, vegetably, though also minty and earthy/mushrooms. Appearance is a typical cloudy copper with a small white head. Taste is minty and floral, with mushrooms and licorice. It is a little harsh in the mouth for the style.

Jul 26, 2006 Pours a deep clear amber with a thin tan head. No lacing to speak of. Smells of biscuity malt, herbal hops and some faint caramel aromas.
A stab at a traditional English style ESB. Tea-like herbal hops. Small hop bite. Fruity and biscuity malt. Medium bodied. Hoppy finish and aftertaste. Hops linger on a low level. Good stuff. Tasty and easy to drink. Nice session beer.

Jul 25, 2006 Cosiderable amount of hop to be found in the aroma and flavor. Somewhat fizzy and tasting thin. Didn’t get much out of this one.

Jul 17, 2006 Total Wine, Tampa, Fl - 12 oz bottle. Dark copper pour, light off hite beady head, sparkles. Musty aroma of stale corn and wort and overripe vegetables. Flavor has some of the same vegetable notes with some subtle bitter notes to redeem it. Hint of candied sugar sweetness in the back end. Decently thick mouthfeel.

Jul 6, 2006 The lady looked great; dark amber brew,light tan head, fine bubbles formed along the sides of the glass. The flavor was strong and hoppy with a lasting, slightly bitter aftertaste. Not as smooth as my idea of a classic Bitter/ESB
