Tap at the Draught Room in Spring House. Cloudy orange. Fruity hop nose. Hops dominate flavor. Very bitter and dry.

On tap @ Cato’s. Burnt orange body with white head. Malty aroma. Piney soapy flavor with medium bitterness. Mildly astringent aftertaste. Pretty good but not "extra special."

Tastes great, nice piney aroma and flavor adds to the great floral qualities of this esb. Pours a nice orange (i think--it was dark in there), decent head. Goes down smooth, expected dry aftertaste and was pleasantly surprised. Good stuff.

Pours a nice amber color with a small white head, it left a small amount of lacing on the glass. Aroma had hints of citrus and a small hop backing. Taste was sweet at first then the B from the ESB filled its place. Smooth bitter, very tasty, careful on those tastebuds.

Fine ambery color, white head. Aroma? not much, really... a touch of citrus, and not much more. Taste is good, however, nice and smooth, and sweet and highly drinkable. We get some hoppy notes on the palate, some touches of grapefruit and ...it drinks well. Sorry, ESB is far from my favorite style, does very little for me, but for those who do like them, here it is...

Nice brew. Pours amber with a nice off white head. Aroma is very malty and floral. Has a nice hop presence with a citrusy, grapefruit, floral malty flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Nice lacing on the glass. Aftertaste is obviously bitter. Not my favorite style but, recommended, a quality brew.

clear copper/amber color, nice thick white creamy head, aroma is hop dominated but has a firm malt background and the aromas blend together nicely, floral, lightly piney, and toasty; flavor is again hop dominated with a toasty-malt background, oily and bitter, light fruitiness and citrus, slightly dry, smooth
