Sherry, brandy, alcohol in the aroma. Low head, clear brown. Tastes like fermented fruit - cherries/apples/berries. Flavour a bit short but lingers. Body is light and fairly still. On tap at Mahar’s in Albany, NY.

cloudy reddish brown with a thin head that disapates quickly. leaves a slightly oily feel on the tongue. slightly fruity taste,does not go down easy. not enough bitter taste for an ESB . i’ve had better.

My initial rating for this beer was horrible; not because it’s bad (not even close), but rather because it didn’t taste like as ESB. Then I realized that I was drunk, and re-rated it.

deep copper color medium tan head that quickly diminished got a sweet apple toffee aroma palate was on the light side watery. a little on the sweet side with a hint of bitterness not to bad of a beer

(Draught) Pours a copper body. Interesting flemish sour ale nose with some apples. Tart. Very apple flavour with some cherry undertones. Thin but I do like it.

Candy apples heartily sweetening the earthy notes...Sweet caramel joins the sugary orgy and buries the growing cherries...Quite promising but a tad sickening after a few sips...

It is dark red with no head. The smells were toffee, caramel and apple. The flavors did not live up to the initial decent smell. Later on the aroma becomes a dry port. Flavor was very dry with cheap grape wine and slight lime sourness. Not a smooth beer.
