jrob21 (4001) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - AUG 27, 2010Great looking amber color with an off white head that adds a creamy texture to the overall experience. Malt body is decent with a nice sweetness and caramel flavor added in. Aroma is surprising with a little bit of citrus. The overly bittered up english style here is much more reminiscent of an american hop profile but I like it. The hop flavor profile is sticky pine on the finish with a bit of citrus mid palate. From my new friend out west. Thank you.

Fruity aroma. Amber coloured a little rich on the palate and strong in alcohol with a hint of dryness in a bitter malt finish.
carruthm (1400) - Seattle, Washington, USA - AUG 24, 2010bottle, slightly bitter taste with not much else interesting to note. Faintly orangeish color
mrmekon (100) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - AUG 23, 2010Reddish gold, thin off-white head. Very faint aroma, malty. Malt-forward and then a big hit of bitterness, slight dark cherry note on the finish. Low carbonation and light body.
yespr (49887) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 5, 2010From cask. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a bubble white head. Aroma is mild hoppy and fruity. Sweet and wooden malty, caramelish, slight breadish. Bitter and dry into a mild wooden and flat caramelish malt finish.
Beerona97 (2399) - Washington, USA - JUL 11, 2010Very nice amber orange color, foamy beige head. Aroma of mild caramel grain and floral hops. Taste has a perfect balance of malt and hop with a medium body and a short lingering bitterness. Very well done and at $6.50 a sixer it’s a go to beer anytime.
bhensonb (16380) - Woodland, California, USA - JUN 17, 2010Bottle from Ben (aka SuzyG...). Pours amber with a foamy 4 finger beige head. Aroma is floral over mildly roasted caramel. Medium body; pretty foamy carbonation. It is hoppy. Floral, not harsh or super bitter. It’s very hoppy. The guys over the pond might die, but I think this is the way ESB should be. Been looking for this for a long time. Worth the wait.
Gooney (389) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 2, 201012 oz bottle from Fred Meyer - Not much in the way of aroma, but the taste is quite good. Hoppiness without a ton of bitterness. Very good balance. Quite a good beer.
DuffMan (10983) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - APR 4, 2010Bottle. Clear amber, off-white head. Aroma and flavour of toffee, tea, and quince. Mildly bitter finish. Solid, but nothing to freak outabout.
