| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 18, 2009 Red amber pour with a tight lasting head. Aromas of fresh caramel and nice sea breeze spice. Nice nutty maltiness and a light red fruit on the palate quietly foiled with a solid hop bitterness. Hop spice works to give the palate lift and dryness. Very restrained, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a very generous beer. Sessionable for certain. 90 Headbanger (1582), Aurora, Illinois, USA

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 23, 2009 Smells of microwave popcorn. pours brown, barely any head. weak aroma. Some aggressive hops, a bit of malt. The hops come on too fast with too much carbonation. The bitter in the aftertaste is combined with a watery feel and only affects a small part of the palate. I’ve got nothing against this beer, I just don’t enjoy drinking it. Live and let live, just don’t drink. WeeHeavySD (2961), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA

Taste is sweet and malty and a decent bitter. Not my favorite thing but pretty good. RHeastings (395), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a nonnic-style pub glass. The beer pours a nice deep copper to medium brown. Spicy hops comes through in the nose. Initially, it seemed like these were American varieties, but based on the label, it may be English Goldings or perhaps Challenger. The palate is a malange of a nice but just a bit harsh hop flavor and bitterness and a delicious backbone of malt character. Overall, its not quite as good as Fuller’s, but a really solid ESB.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Interesting. Found this bottle at Vendome in Beverly Hills, CA. Dusty and the only other beer from Stoudts was a bottle of the American Pale Ale, again, just a single bottle. I didn’t know that their beers made it out here to California. Wow, old bottle...Best Before 07/08/06. Red label. Pours a somewhat unattractive shade of auburn, murky brown. Quick to revert to a ring off-white head. Aroma is earthy with raisin, baked bread, a bit of toasted coconut nearly, and some butterscotch. Taste is nice with some oxidation and sherry notes, malty and a bit fruity with brown sugar. Water like mouthfeel. Light bubbles. grandet (479), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma is bready with some caremal. Taste is nice and drinkable with some sweet malt and little hops on the end.
