Oct 12, 2007 22 oz bottle. Poured a clear orange color. Head was thick, off white, and pock marked with good retention and lacing. Aroma was of subdued caramel, light grapefruity hops, toasted bread, and a hint of brown sugar. Didn’t really draw me in. Dry on the tongue with moderate hop bitterness of about 5 out of 10. Flavor was so so. Some flowery hops, spicy malt, and subdued fruitiness. Better than average, but not the bomb.

Oct 8, 2007 22oz bottle. Pours a hazy, bright orange-amber color; thin, light tan head with patchy lacing. Very pleasant, floral and fruit-driven aroma; some dried fruits, tea, and earthiness. Shows some citrus-laden acidity at the tip of the tongue; medium mouthfeel; dried red fruits (strawberries, apples) and candy sugar at the center of things, with a warm maltiness throughout; nice balance and very sessionable. Medium, candy sugar and light caramel finish.

Oct 5, 2007 (draught - as Liars Brew ESB at the Liar’s Club in San Diego - I’m assuming this is the same ESB) Dark amber with off white head. Mild hop aroma. Flavor is biscuit malt with some hops.

Oct 2, 2007 From a 22-oz. bottle--Poured a hazy amber with brown burnished golden-brown hues. Nice froathy white head. NW hoppy aroma but not roaming far from traditional English bitter style. Fruity and slightly bitter in the finish. Great wholesome mouthfeel with an amazingly smooth finish.

Sep 15, 2007 On tap from AleSmith Brewery and from 22oz bottle. Excellent brew one of my favorites from AleSmith. Orange in color with small white head. Excellent hoppy aroma and great bitter taste. Only negative to this beer are that the 22oz bottles are hit or miss, sometimes they have carbonation sometimes they dont, AleSmith needs to work on their bottling.

Sep 10, 2007 Slightly red brown haze with a thin white head, vanishing. Big citrusy amarillo? hops over a subtle but substantial malty sweetness, some caramel malt. A bit thin in the body, but not overly fizzy. Appropriate to the style. Sweet light malt, some caramel. Big amarillo hops? gives this a strong resemblance to Pride and Joy. Clean hoppy floral finish. Very drinkable. A little chocolate malt.
