| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jan 2, 2006 Enormous head on this one. Really big for an ESB. Slightly hazy and golden in color. Light floral hop aroma but a bit eggy also. Watery body and a metallic nonsense I can’t get past. Not great compared to some other great beer they brew. hezron (604), Viroqua, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2006 Malty, sweet and fruity with a hint of pine though not very strong at all. Light amber with a thin white head. Sweet, metallic flavor with a touch of pine bitterness. Lighter body with a sharp finish that has too much of that mineral flavor.
