| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Pours a nice amber with a rocky tan head. Aroma is of syrupy malt and hops. Flavor has great hops throughout, but this doesn’t seem like an esb to me. More like a mild IPA. I like what they have done with the water, it does have a more English mouthfeel and mineral quality. A bit too sweet for me to get very excited over, but a decent casual brew. Zinister (1207), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 Golden caramel pour with white head. Nose was more like a Cali Common...but with better bitterness. Flavor was full and bitter with some good malt notes. Surprisingly good. jjuf1853 (480), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2008 Bottle pours a copper color with a thin head. Aroma and flavor were decent and overall had a nice bitterness, but I was expecting more hops. Very drinkable and smooth. joshwilfong (794), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2008 Not exactly an esb imo. Sweet, slightly tart. Where’s the hops? There’s nothing extra, special, or bitter about this one. Easy to drink, but largely a dissapointment. nefarious (203), Clarkston, Michigan, USA
