Sep 22, 2006 ohh very nice beer. Plastic sample cup at the brewery. Small head that quickly turns into lacing. Amber color and can see through it. Present aroma of light roastiness, very earthy and toasty. Nice malt in this puppy. Taste is moderately toasty sweet. Low but present bitterness at the end to round things off. Leaves a really fruity, sweet aftertaste. Really good level of carbontation allowing a proper enjoyment of this beer. This really might be the best beer Blue Point makes. I really recommend it. This also may be the best ESB I have every tried.

Apr 2, 2006 Tap at the brewery. Deep amber beer. Thin off-white head. Nice spicy Golding aroma over sweet UK malts. Flavour is fairly sweet and toasty with enough spicy hops to balance it out. Fairly leafy tobaccoish aroma and flavour. Nicely balanced. Fresh hops/malts. Moderate bitterness with some light cherry fruitiness in back. Very good, authentic tasting ESB.

Feb 18, 2006 Had it at the brewery on 2/18/2006 and bought a jug. I like this beer. It is a dark beer that pours with a good head. There is a nice roasted bitter taste. A very good ESB, have to give props to Blue Point.

Nov 1, 2005 Caramel, vanilla and dry-hopped aroma. hazy orange-brown, clingy white head. Melllow caramel, not overbittered. Moderate sweetness. Starchy mouth. Medium alcohol-bitter finish. Goes piney. Cask at David Copperfield’s in NYC. Enjoyable. Vanilla in there.

Oct 24, 2005 growler from brewery 10/22/05. Pours a light brown color almost like a light coca-cola with a slight yellow tint. Fizzy body with no real head to be spoken of. Full bodied and no lacing. Light roast smell and maybe a fruity hint. When you first drink it it is originally sweet with some hop characters but then it ends slightly dry which allows in to have more character in my opinion. Good beer from Blue Point.

Mar 7, 2005 not my cup of tea. Had it on tap at the brewery, very dark, hoppy and very bitter. Blue point has better things to offer

Jul 3, 2004 On tap at David Copperfield’s. Poured an opaque orange/red amber with minimal hops in the aroma and some citrus. Taste opened up with some spice and bitterness with some citrus flavors as well with more spice coming in near the end.
