I had this as I began my esb drinking. Good bitter hop flavor. Overall. I wish it weren’t retired.

Amber pour with medium white head. Aroma of malts and hint of hops, same for the flavor which was a bit watery for an ESB.

Too bad they retired this one. This was one of the only micro’s we could get on draft in Birmingham in the early 2000’s and this beer was my intro to craft brew. I’m very grateful and have fond memories.

This was a tasty Malty ESB. Nothing lept out at you. Was a shame to see it go.

The CAT made me miss this beer. Brown and some red highlights. Was a great session beer. Sigh.....memories.

I hate to see that a local brewery discos a decient style of theirs. The first time I had this beer it was Sweetwater Ale. Then they changed it to ESB. IT was amber in color. very nice maltiness, good hop finish. Too bad.

Glad I got to have this before leaving the ATL. Thanks Kp! This drinks like an English style ESB. Nothing screamed out insanity about this beer, but it had some good solid hoppy, bitter flavors, along with some complimentary malts. There was a hint of citrus flavor, but nothing overpowering or crazy, just a hint so you know it’s there. SOme good biscuit-y malts too to top this one off. Nicely done.
