| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 9, 2007 Flowery nose, dark orangy-gold color, sticky creamy head. Woody, nutty notes throughout, with a hint of berry sweetness. Spicy end. Lingering gritty grassy bitterness, though very faint. Lively carbonation--too much for a classic UK ESB. Still a good beer. orville (160), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Apr 6, 2007 Updated: Dec 7, 2007By far the best ESB i’ve ever had. Like having a Fullers ESB, but more flavorful. Has an aroma of darjeeling tea and hops. Flavor of pure water, then a hop wallop followed by lingering hops smoothing out by that lovely water taste. It’s like a symphony on the tongue. nimbleprop (929), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2007 Translucent orange with a very whispy white head. Smells of malt, grain and yeast. Flavor was very pleasant. Strong biscuit flavor, malt. Has a pleasant bite and citrus after taste. Not the best ESB I’ve ever had, but a good representative of the style. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 1, 2007 Light hop aroma backed by very light malt. Amber gold color with a white head that isn’t tall, but laces where it is. Starts with a good mouthfeel, and some light hop and firm malt. It isn’t exactly dry, but it isn’t exactly sweet. This is well balanced and quite tasty. beerbuzzmontreal (2921), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
