Dec 20, 2007 22 oz. bottle - pours clear amber with off white head; aromas of malts and sweet caramel; slight spice in the flavors mixed with nice hop addition and creamy malt finish; don’t drink ESB’s too often, but this was a nice one

Dec 13, 2007 22. Thanks, Terry! This one was a bit of a disappointment--clearly starting down the road toward full-blown infection. Geysered a bit, showing plenty of fizzy platinum blonde foam atop a clear medium amber. Smells a bit orange-y citric and sweetly sour. Fizzy medium body. Lightly tart and spicy mid-palate. Clean finish, no detectable hops. Gotta get back to this one someday.

Dec 13, 2007 Bottle courtesy of dirty_martini. Pours mahogany with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, roses, touches of caramel and hints of pepper. Tastes of sweet malt with some nice underlying spice, hints of citrus and a nice finish that yields some floral notes. An excellent beer.

Dec 3, 2007 Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting: Poured an amber with a heafty off white head. The aroma is yeasty and hops. The taste is metallic hops with lost of that carbonation which was present in the way the head reacted.

Dec 2, 2007 Bottle at ultimate glasgow tasting. Very highly carbonated, kind of ruins it a bit infact. Aroma is well balanced grassy citrus hop with rounded malt character. Taste is similar though quite thin. Too carbaonted.

Dec 1, 2007 Bottled, consumed on 12/1/07. Deep ambery coppery color, slightly hazy, pours a modest head that thins to a ring around the edges fast. Beautiful sweet malt aroma with sugar/molasses notes; indistinct and fleeting metallic tang the only flaw. Mouthfeel is slightly smooth and creamy. Yeast character is unexpectedly strong on palate for an ESB. Grainy, fruity flavors (sweet oranges, apricots) wash over the tongue before going down with a clean, fast finish. Traces of caramel as well. I love this beer.
