A good golden color with a nice head, A decent hoppy aroma with a slight bready maly nose. Misses the ESB style but the beer was good to drink, For a bitter it was too light int he bitter flavor. Needs work on the bitter end. Ouch did I say that. AdamGott (190), Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA

Amber colour. Citric aroma from hops and very tea-like. Resiny flavour with a wonderful hop profile, that’s fresh and citrusy. Very well balanced, maybe a bit one-dimensional. mcbackus (753), Merritt Island, Florida, USA

First time trying an ESB. Not as ESB as I thought but still very good. Pour a nice bark brown and had a nice thick foam head that lasted a while. The smell was a little week from an ESB in my opinion. The taste and drinkability were both really good.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 4, 2007 Golden amber body with light white head. Aroma is lots of citrus hops. Dry on the mouth throughout with nice citrus hops flavouring the beer. Good but nothing overly special.
