Oct 11, 2004 Sampled draught at Stuffed Sandwich, Greater Los Angeles.
Nut brown, creamy head. Restrained sweetness. Deep pleasant malt character with well balanced flowery hop character and pleasant orangey finish with good bitterness. And here wai I thinking that AleSmith could only excel at weirdo over-the-top style beers, then they do the best non-cask bitter I’ve ever had...

Oct 3, 2004 Bright copper with purple highlights.
Tons of fruity esters in the aroma accompanied by lots of toasted malts, a smoked woodiness and some spicy notes. Smells like a fruit shake.
Top is a gliding caramel and toffee sweetness. Unbelieveably smooth. Fruity hop flavor. Spicy, citrus-like notes. Moderate carbonation.
A great beer. Easily the best of the style I have ever had.

Oct 1, 2004 Sweet, earthy, grainy, slightly toasted aroma. Hazy amber color. Thin white determined head. Ample carbonation. Starts off soft, is a little thin in body, and finishs with a good hop bite. Has a distracting metallic/acrid after taste. Over all not bad but couldn’t hold a candle to Fuller’s.

Sep 30, 2004 Fine off-white head on a hazy amber colored body with a red gleam. Nice creamy and hoppy aroma with nutty and AleSmith yeasty tones. Plenty of hops in the flavor as well again with that nice tone of nut. Reminds me a lot of their IPA, which isn’t a bad thing! Soft and very tasty!

Sep 26, 2004 Thanks to Lord Gorlock for slipping this in to me under the noses of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Beautiful deep amber color with a thick white head.
Mellow nose of hops and malt in just the right proportions.
Nice malty flavor with a bit of bitterness in the background, makes this a real well done brew in a style that’s under appreciated in the U.S. We need more ESBs like this one.

Sep 23, 2004 Very thick looking brown texture. The aroma is like i just smelt a pecan pie that has cooled down to room tempature. Flavor consists of brown sugar, pecan, with some spciy hops. Nice overall but i’d like a actual head and more hops on this to make it worth the cost.
