May 23, 2001 An excellent bitter from this brewery/restaurant. Drank several at Musikfest ’99 (and Musikfest 2000). This stuff even won over a bud-drinking friend.

May 2, 2003 I'm about halfway through a growler of this. Deep red-copper, rocky beige head with a decent amount of lace. Nicely balanced between maltiness, fruitiness, and hops. Very English-tasting. Full-bodied. I'm not sure what makes this a "Yuengling Lager alternative" as the description says, but it's damn good.

Apr 28, 2003 WOW, really good. Sweet but bitter. Dark copper in color. Aroma was sweet with spices. Was one of my top 5 at 03' Manayunk brew feast.

Sep 3, 2003 A good ESB made in the area where I used to reside. I took home a growler of this during a visit to the area, and I enjoyed the close proximity to the British ESBs that I enjoy. Worth trying if you stop by Bethlehem.

Nov 25, 2002 Excellent ESB, very smooth, nice lacy soft head, very well balanced, good malt character in the flavors, just enough hoppy punch as well] very nice bitter

Mar 29, 2004 This is a flagship beer for BBW, and it is excellent. A nice deep reddish/amber color. Very hopped, with less sweetness and more bitterness than pales and IPAs. It's like Yeungling lager on steroids. I took a growler of this to go. Delicious.

Dec 18, 2002 Not exactly a ESB by definition but a good beer by my standards. A dark beer in color, with a fruity hint on the nose, of apple and a strawberry sort of smell. The taste is smooth fruity and a bit hoppy all at once. My only complaint was a bit of a bitter after taste, but hey it is a ESB

Nov 18, 2006 On tap at the brewpub, July 2006. Their Cassis Lambic seemed pretty authentic to me and this one was equally, so - very English. In fact, I thought it was the most English-tasting beer I had tried in nearly a month in the US. Attractive, bright copper colour. Strong dusty, robust hop presence with a great earthy bitterness. Chewy, fruity malt too. Excellent balance. Very nice indeed.
