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.

Apr 24, 2007 Tap @ Blue Point: Poured a clear deep copper color with a thin off-white head. Caramel malt aroma with an earthy hop. The flavor was malty with notes of toffee and nuts. The finish had citrus notes and a mild bitter finish.

Dec 27, 2003 Growler. This is the type of ESB that reminds me of Troegs ESB, which I loved so much. It is a nice deep clear amber color with a great head. Aroma is of hops hops and more hops- probably some willamette. Flavor is of nice caramel malt and spicy/ yet subdues hops, while the finish is smooth and leaves a little bitter bite. My new favorite ESB since Troegs has discontinued its ESB- Although I heard a rumor it may come back in limited quantities.

Apr 27, 2004 Updated: Apr 15, 2005Clear copper color with a foamy tan head. Aroma was a nice bitter . Taste was everything you want out of an ESB with roasted maltiness and mellow hop bitterness. True to style, so to speak.

Jun 1, 2004 Tap at The Brazen Head (Brooklyn). More bitter than an English ESB, like Fuller’s, so watch out for that. Pleasant, rich malt body, but expect an Amber Ale.

Jun 1, 2003 Pours a lovely inch-thick head on a full pint--frothy on top but dense at the border with the slightly hazy, chestnut brown body. Wonderful aroma, like a strawberry "Orange Julius" drink (if you happen to know that old chain of frothy fruit-drink makers). First tastes are of quality hops, full and fragrant. But the body is watery thin, a massive disappointment, and as the beer warmed it provided a weak finish as well. (hand-pull cask at Gingerman, NYC)

Jul 14, 2003 Updated: Aug 11, 2006[note - if you are not getting this beer fresh from the brewery, then you are not "getting this beer" - it just keeps getting freakin’ better - a world class session bitter if I’ve ever had one - get it from the source...right now!] [growler] Mmmm, good beer - copper/amber body with a thick, frothy head that clings to the glass - huge hop aroma, with some hints of fruit - the aroma sets up the flavor well - lots of hops with hints of malty, fruity sweetness (mostly strawberry) that weaves itself perfectly into the hop character - nearly perfect balance of malt and hops in the finish - this sample was not thin-bodied at all - the best Blue Point I’ve tried so far.
