Mar 9, 2003 Cask conditioned, hand drawn sample:
Aroma was fruity and hoppy, very pleasing to the nose. Color was a deep cloudy tan. Flavor started off with a subtle hoppyness that opened up into a strong bitter with a long linger. Nice beer.

Jan 18, 2003 Dark amber with a small white head, good lacing. Aroma is light, mostly citrusy hops, with a slight maltiness in the back. Flavor starts malty & a little sweet, then ends with a good, long hoppiness. Very creamy and thick feeling in the mouth. Quite well balanced.

Aug 2, 2002 This almost seemed like the IPA with a bit more malt. Not really an ESB in my opinion.

May 3, 2002 Updated: Jan 3, 2004Cask at NERAX '02: Biscuity flowers in the aroma, hazy almost orange color, Nice bitter full finish. I could drink this all night, which I guess is the point.

May 1, 2002 If you like the bitter stuff, you’ll like this. Not as good as Ipswich Ale though.

Jan 20, 2002 pleasantly bitter, a very nice beer, but I’m not sure that it is worth $5 for a pint.
