| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from EZ Liquors. Poured a slightly hazed orange body underneath a slightly foamy average sized white head. Aroma is lots of bread, slight toffee, grass notes and some citrus. Palate has very assertive carbonation over a dry body and a slightly thicker mouthfeel. Flavor of grain and cereal, slight citrus and toffee. Drinkable but one bottle would have been sufficient of this but now I have five more to do something with. SDalkoholic (1198), Chula Vista, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 16, 2009 On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad: Poured a golden honey color with a frothy topping of head that left behind a fair amount of lacing. Nose detected a hoppier than usual ESB which will earn an extra point on the ratings. The flavor is also a hoppier than most typical ESB’s and has a extremely smooth bitterness in the finish. coyotehunter (557), , Michigan, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Opaque pour. Dark orange with a "dont let the door hit you in the ass" head. It leaves that fast. Smells mostly of caramel malt and toast, with a touch of wood to it. Namely walnut. Some grass as well. Surprisingly, the taste isnt terrible. Some malt grass and funk are present, aforementioned wood as well. Hops say hello toward the end. Not very damn bitter, though. Beer. Hooray, Beer! stchloe (491), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jun 22, 2009 I actually quite liked this beer. A satisfying bitterness to it, but definelty sweet malt to it. The herbal quality, sort of a grassiness is pleasen.t BREWMUSKCLES (1087), New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2009 a well crafted bitter with citrus and wood accents the beer still has tastes that are a touch bright and amberly/sweet in attestment to Colorodo ingenuity. light pepper and muted fruit it is mainly well trenched in the style with that brassy/resiny sense of body and flavor that gives it its own place. brew4fun (171), West Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 4, 2009 Clear copper wtih off-white head yielding herbal hoppy aroma with some maltiness. Good example of the style. Taste sweet, fruity at first, malty in the middle with ample hoppiness shining through. Very good. thornecb (1810), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Pours deep amber into an English pint. White micro head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sour malt and resin aromas. Bitter hops upfront turning to a more balanced, lasting caramel and resin finish. craftycarl21 (576), South Hero, Vermont, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Pours a murky apricot with a small head. Aroma is fruity, with nectar and lighter malt tones. Flavor ha lot of caramel, molasses, and some floral hop resin, and some peach. Very nice beer, but seems to stray quite a bit from the prototypical ESB.
