Jun 28, 2003 Lake Superior ESB is like a toned down version of Arcadia IPA. Body is amber, with a thin white head. Aroma is perfumey hops, and flavor is musty, floral hops without any sulfuric element. Not standard for the style.

Jun 9, 2003 Hoppy, fruity and gently floral aroma, with hints of tea leaves and toasty malt. Lightly hazy light-medium amber color, fully diminishing head. Flavor is malty and mysteriously woody, slight caramel and toasted bread with generous, spicy, herbal and faintly earthy hop bitterness throughout. Thin, smoothly effervescent and lightly acidic palate. Aftertaste is almost tangy, perhaps just a hint of metal. Quite an elementally-flavored brew here.

Apr 13, 2003 Not bad, although not the best ESB. I had a hard time placing the aroma, but I think that was because of the smokers sitting next to me. Pretty balanced with a decent finish. Smooth.

Mar 18, 2003 Yes, this is brown with a nice lasting head. The smooth, rich, chewy maltiness is nice and even finishes richly. Not much bitterness detected, but the malts are sweet and tasty. More flavor than many of the RAF British Bitter combined!

Feb 23, 2003 Very dark body, more brown than copper. White head that diminshes quickly and little lacing.
Balanced hop/malt aroma.
Nice malty flavor with a subdued hop bite. No sweetness was detected.
Full body that was smooth.

Feb 10, 2003 Ugly brown. . . Thick malty caramalized banana aroma. Murky sour bitter flavour that has no real pleasant attributes. There are quite a few better bitters out there than this one, I'd choose any of the those.

Feb 8, 2003 Dark amber, almost brown in color. The aroma is a liquid combination of whole grain bread and rubbing alcohol. The flavor is a little better, but not a whole lot more. Grainy malt a little sour grape.

Jan 26, 2003 Nice golden brown color. Seemed lacking in body. A little sweetness and lots of bitterness. A decent brew.
