Dec 7, 2005 On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor.
Pours a clear amber with a almost no head whatsoever. The aroma is grassier than I expected and slightly sour; the flavor is sour with peaches and honey rathert than bitter - the only bitterness comes from a metallic aftertaste. Insipid mouthfeel.
Decidedly unimpressive.

Oct 25, 2005 from the bottle. poured a dark copper with a off white head that left a small amount if lacing. aroma hops grapefruit and oranges, caramel malts. flavor not mush going on but did get some toasted malts, and caramel was looking for the hop bitterness but I couldn’t find it in this bottle. but it was a drinkable beer.

Sep 2, 2005 Grapefruit, orange blossom and caramel in the hoppy nose. Clear amber coloured body with low, white, fully diminishing head. Grapefruit and oranges in the strong citrus hop flavour with underlying sweet caramel character and fair finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with decent carbonation. On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor, MI.

Aug 25, 2005 Bottle Pours a a light amber/copper color with a thin head. Aromas reminded me of faint sweet apple cider and light grains. Flavors were slightly woody and fairly sweet with remarkable lack of bitterness and body. Pleasant to drink however but not particularly "S" or "B"
Thanks to Ohiodad for this one

Aug 22, 2005 Bottle: Pours an unclear copper color. The aroma has some floral and spicy notes. Upon tasting it, you notice that it is quite sweet for an ESB. The flavors are ripe cherries and pitted fruit. It has high carbonation and missing a good, bitter aftertaste. To quote Indiana_Red who also shared this with me, "It is lacking the ’B’ in ESB." Too right.

Aug 18, 2005 hazy amberish pour, with a off-sweet citrus aroma. descent caramel stands out upon the first sip, with a descent hop kick. Mediocre at best.
