Sep 9, 2003 Thin, off-white head that does not linger long. The beer has a deep, clear, ruby red color and a wonderful aroma of piney hops with just a bit of malty sweetness and a hint of caramel. Medium to full body with light carboantion, the mouthfeel is smooth and creamy right through to the finish. The flavor is malty up front with a touch of caramel and the finish is long and slightly bitter from the hops. Well balanced and very drinkable, this is very nice ESB.

Sep 3, 2003 Clear copper color,small tight tan head that had a decent staying power.Mild malt aroma with a light citrus hint and decent hop presence.The taste is mildly fruity at first then it changes to a semi-bitter hops taste,lightly spicy,with the after taste being mostly grapefruit and hops.Definately a good brew and very drinkable with just the right amount of everything IMO.

Sep 1, 2003 Pretty glowing ruby/brown color with a nice beige head. The aroma was full of hops...citrus and floral tones...with some burnt caramel. The flavor was more sweet...caramel and malt. Crisp, clean feel with a semi-dry finish. Very enjoyable session beer.

Aug 31, 2003 I could certainly put a lot of this stuff down. Doughy/piney aroma with apricots. Beautiful appearance, nice finish. A bit of smokiness...this has it all. Could be my new go-to beer?

Aug 26, 2003 Light garnet red in appearance with moderate cap of foam. Nose is not too pronounced; malty, nutty. Flavors are balances well, with some lactic taste, caramel, some nuttiness. Restrained overall and a less British approach to a bitter. Bitterness is evident in finish.
