| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 22, 2006 On tap at brewpub. Dark translucent amber pour. Typical ESB aromas...malty, mild hop spiciness. Flavor was similar, but seemed a bit on the weak side. Some caramel, maltiness trying to pounch through. Light bitterness edges into the picture at the end. This one didn’t measure up to the other offerings. It was quaffable, but not the best example of the style. rebelbrewer (125), Lithonia, Georgia, USA

They should know how to serve a beer here, but my glass arrived at the table full to the brim. So, I have no idea the color, size or duration of the head. It was amber in color. It had a piney hop aroma with a nice malt backbone to it. The taste was nicely balanced and very enjoyable. waolsen (1223), Littleton, Colorado, USA
