| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 11, 2006 Poured an amber brew with a profuse creamy head. Smelled like corn and water. A lot of alcohol in the taste. Overall kind of gross. EithCubes (2165), Indiana, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 10, 2006 Bottle. Light fruity hoppy aroma. Pours clear golden with an off-white head. Taste is mildly bitter, not really any hops or fruitiness, but the aftertaste does turn pleasantly doughy. Thin body. Pretty much your standard bitter. invalid (302), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 9, 2006 Totally average beer. I don’t remember much since I didn’t take notes, but I remember being unimpressed. Sweet and boring. Will not drink again. Englander1986 (51), Middlesbrough, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Nov 8, 2006 A nice drink, I cant think of anything bad to say about it, but on the other hand I cant think of anything good to say about it. It doesnt stand out to me through the countless amounts of other ales, but that doesnt change the fact its a nice tasting beer. asteele8 (270), Mukilteo, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 7, 2006 On tap at Barley’s in Knoxville, TN. Pours a light copper color with a very small head. Aroma is fairly light, not much going on at all with this beer. Some notes of hops and bready malts. Flavor starts off pretty bland with a bready taste to begin with. The beer finishes with a hoppy bitterness but nothing to get the other taste out of your mouth. screigh (262), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Poured a light copper color. Very clear beer. One finger head that quickly disappated but did leave some decent lacing. Aroma is almost nonexistent with a slight hint of malt. It tastes a lot better than it smells. Slight woody taste with some bitter on the finish. While this isn’t great it is better than I had expected. It stares at me in the liquor store each week and I finally broke down. But will not purchase again at its high price point. With the taste I am really suprised this is classified as an ESB because it doesn’t seem to fit.
