Aug 15, 2005 Draft at Appalachian BC. Large ivory fizzy head that was mostly lasting, fine-large sized bubbles, sparse lacing, minimal carbonation, transparent, and a golden hue. Aroma was malty and hoppy. Malty, bitter flavor. Tingly palate. Medium body.

Aug 7, 2005 Orange color. Creamy head. Light hop aroma. More of an American ESB. I prefer the brittish work on this style. Althought I have to say the quality was there compared to the Flying Fish ESB I had tried a minute earlier.

Jul 10, 2005 This draft brew from the brewery poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly diminishing off-white colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was hazy and golden in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild malts and hops. Its mouth feel is initially slightly tingly and flat with a lingering finish that lacks crispmess and is too thick with heavy malts and a mild bitter aftertaste. Its flavor contained bitter malty notes. A below average brew.

Jun 14, 2005 Draught. At the Penn Brew fest 6-4-05. I really liked this one. Dark amber and with a nice malty, hoppy nose. Some caramel flavors with a good solid hop bite. I loved the balance of this and it was perfectly carbonated. The folks from the brewery were good sports and kept the beers flowing as well. I liked this one a lot.

Jun 5, 2005 Not a bad beer but a little lighter in body than I remember most ESB’s. The flavor was good but seemed to be less robust than the English versions. Better to call this an American ESB.

May 31, 2005 Yess! I was the first to try this new addition to the fine family of ABC brews. Poured a semi-dark amber color with an effervescent off-white head which, when through cascading, remained for the ride down the edge of the glass. Not-so-strong malt and some grassy hop aromas present . Smoooooth from start to finish. Excellent session beer.
