Feb 26, 2007 lasting frothy head over clear copper pour. Really yeasty (that kind that would smell bad on its own but it’s objectionably acceptable in a beer) and a bit citrussy aroma. A wierd flavor combo of chocolate and lemons.

Feb 25, 2007 An interesting novelty brew. A nice full aroma which no offencive bitterness. A good colour, although not as Dark as I would have guessed. Good full bodied flavour. Overall, above average.

Feb 24, 2007 1pint 0.9oz. bottle pours a dark amber orange head, with a good light tan head. Overall it was a descent beer for the price, but I wish it was a little stronger.

Feb 23, 2007 Bottle. Golden amber color with medium off-white head. Plain malt aroma with earthy hops. Medium bodied. Very bitter flavour. This is the only character of this beer, bitterness, not anything more.

Feb 16, 2007 Pours a golden amber with a great head. Nice roasty, hoppy aroma. Very interesting taste - starts out sweet, but then bitters and dries out nicely. There’s that ferric (blood, iron) taste again that seems to pop up from time to time in certain beers (La Maudite) but I suspect this is either a storage method or something in the hops I’m tasting. The hops are really well balanced against the malt. Great carbonation, body is light and almost creamy (although it could be that fantastic head meddling with the mouthfeel!) Nice beer. What is that iron I’m tasting? No matter, this is a real beer, and an excellent example of a bitter.

Feb 10, 2007 Updated: Apr 2, 2007Pours amber. Grassy hops in the nose. A nice mix of sweet malt and subtle hops. Complexity is above average definitely. Medium body, creamy, and smooth. Very enjoyable ESB.

Feb 9, 2007 What a pleasant surprise. I thought this beer was going to be nothing but a gimmick. Pours a pale, cloudy amber. Lots of English maltiness up front with a dry mildy hoppy finish. Probably make a great session beer.
