Jun 9, 2006 Bottle. Pours an orange-amber body with a large, frothy white head. The aroma is moderately piney with a fair amount of bread and caramel. Rich, yeasty sweet hops. Lots of bread and biscuit balance. Excellent session.
Avery’s normal offerings can be quite good, it seems.
Purchased at Bello Vino in Ann Arbor in April, 2006.

Jun 3, 2006 An average ESB produced by Avery. Good balance with hops and malts, a bit peppery. flavored with light citrus and barley. Pours a decent amber but lacking in head and lacing. Balance is good like I said but a lack of depth keeps this one from being a high end ESB.

May 28, 2006 Amber coloured, thick head with great lacing. Aroma is malty and hoppy with notes of grapefruit. Flavour is malty and bitter with a little watery mouthfeel. Hops in finish as well. Some notes of pine.

May 27, 2006 This has to be one of my favorite ESB’s . I know its not quite to style, but I like the little more hop flavor and aroma this beer has. It gives it a better balanced flavor. It makes it the nice English version of the American Pale Ale. It doesn’t have quite the hoppiness the American version has, but more than a typical ESB.

May 23, 2006 Golden to copper color with thin white head. Mild aroma of bitter hops (grapefruit maybe) and a little bit of malt. Nice combo of sweet malt and hop flavor with a splash of hop bitterness that lingers around the tongue then sits on it right to the finish. Nice meld of flavors, delicious, refreshing summertime brew.

May 22, 2006 bottle. clear amber pour. efferevecent. nice tiny bubble off white head. Great aroma. grapefruit, hops. great malts. slight floral aroma. Very smooth. nice hops. bitter bite. earth and grass. a nice esb. I don’t think this beer is worthy of so many of the poor ratings. This is a go to at the cooler.

May 18, 2006 (Bottled) Clear amber color with a small, foamy head. Nutty-fruity, British-hoppy aroma with some caramel. Sweetish-caramely, slightly roasty flavor with a somewhat odd turpentine feel. Medium-bodied, slicky and moderately bitter palate with medium carbonation. A quite different, but nice ESB.
