| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, effervescent, copper body with a small, glass-coating, white head.
Smell: Fairly mild aroma smelling of dry, biscuity malts, floral hops, and just a hint of caramel.
Taste: Malts tasting of dry-old biscuits with an exceedingly light touch of caramel sweetness. Floral hoppiness, even some citrus. Smooth, medium-low bitterness. Sip of spring water on the tail end. Light bitterness on the clean finish.
Mouthfeel: Just barely makes it to medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: About average for an American-born ESB which leaves it somewhat forgettable. afireinside96 (836), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA
