Aug 26, 2003 Very thin head--amber color. Malty aroma--hint
of caramel. Nice flavor, malty and finishes with
a decent amount of bitterness. Slightly sweet.
Not sure if it is an ESB, but it makes a fine Amber.

Aug 23, 2003 Nice hops aroma - floral, herbal, some oil/grapefruit. Orange-amber clear w/off-white small head. Palate is med watery w/med hi carbonation. Starts slightly sweet w/decent malts. Big hops flavor but mostly hi level of bittering. Some alcohol, bland sugar. Bitter finish & after. Refreshing.

Aug 8, 2003 Pours a clear copper color, modest head that quickly subsides. Lots of malt in the nose, no discernable hops. Very nice ESB, small hops taste in the finish, right up there with Alesmith Anvil in my opinion.

Jul 7, 2003 This is really one of the only brews by Alaskan that I didn't enjoy all that much. Color is a lighter amber, thin off-white head faded leaving minimal light spots of lace. Very acidic flavor and bite, bitterness should be sweet and nice, this had a taste of generic aspirin in the finish that I just didn't like. I highly doubt it was a bad batch cuz all the others I had by Alaskan were great. Had a good smell of floral sweetness and light malt but that didn't carry over in the taste department for me. I've diffenately had better ESB.
