| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2006 The body was medium red with a light tan colored head. The aroma was oranges with some caramel. The taste was caramel with some iced tea. There was alittle bit of chocolate in the finish. There was also some pear core. This beer was pretty smooth yet thick. Another winner from Alesmith. rybowen (105), Los Angeles 90039, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2006 Great ESB, wonderful aroma and flavor. Decently full body but not overly sweet. Bottle-conditioned bomber from this innovative brewery.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2006 Bomber from BevMo in Pasadena, CA. Deep hazy orange with tangerine highlites and a fairly sizable medium tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, nuts, some citrus zest, toffee and hops. Crisp hoppy flavor in lock-step with a solid malty backbone. Plenty more nutty and minerally flavors as well with a slight fruity sweetness. Silky mouthfeel and a wonderfully dry, bitter and crisp finish. Alesmith is completly unavailable in NJ so I was thrilled to get my hands on this while on vacation. nhorween (640), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2006 Bottle. Slightly cloudy, ruddy orange color. Aroma is "hoppy" (that’s all I wrote on my pad, it must’ve been deep into the night). Flavor is earthy, mildly hoppy and somewhat bitter. Mouthfeel is nice, crisp and clean with great bubbles. This is a good beer, but my least favorite of the AleSmith family. alafito (334), tijuana, Mexico
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 1, 2006 Sampled at the brewery. Nice clear orange brown hues (couldnt tell from the plastic glass). Aromas of hops, honey and wood. Flavor excelently balanced of hops, malts and a hint of fruits.With a medium body and very easydrinking finish, lightly and refreshingly bitter end. pinkzambia (989), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 26, 2006 1 Pint, 6 oz. Bottle: This San Diego brew has a clear copper color like the skin of many a sun bather on the beach down there. The aromas waft hints of caramel and dates and/or figs into the nasal territory. The taste is rich and sweet, pitted fruit flavors, followed by an enduring blunt bitterness. The feel is pretty thin with not much carbonation. Not bad! Thanks Indiana_Red for sharing this trade.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 26, 2006 Bottle Pours a clear orange/copper color with a small sandy head. Aromas of honey and sweet light malts. Flavor is light wody malts, light on the hops, and overall drinkable. Lively carbonation, and fairly light on the pallate. I expected a heavier bodied enty in this style but it was tasty overall. Had this sitting in my cellar before I got around to drinking it.
