| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 13, 2005 looks great tastes good. nothing special, but i liked it. it tastes mild to me, not anything extra special or extra bitter. for the most part this has some earthiness, a little bit fruity like cherry. kind of chewy, mineral water. the aroma has more caramel present in comparison to flavor. a bit interesting and good, but nothing more. jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2004 A very good ESB! Deep brown appearance with a minimal head. mild aroma barely hints at the complex fruity hoppy flavor of this well-crafted beer. One of the more enjoyable ESB’s I have had in a while.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 15, 2004 Updated: Aug 15, 2007 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small creamy tan head. The aroma was sour malt with a hint of fruit. The flavor was sour and quite hoppy with only a trace amount of malt noticeable. Sourness grows and lingers on the finish. An ok ESB but nothing to write home about. BBB63 (4267), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 22, 2004 Bottle: Slightly hazed medium reddish amber hue with a small frothy off-white head and good lace. The aroma has notes of caramel, cashews, toast, tart fruits, and aromatic hops. The taste is soft malts with a kick of bitters at the end. A vein of fruitiness runs through this beer and some earthy qualities as well. The feel is smooth and bready, a chalky finish. An okay ESB but would like like a touch more bitterness to stand out upon the finish. Quaffable. argo0 (6978), Washington DC, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 3, 2004 Good nutty malt smell topping off a nice red amber cloudy color. Flavor isnt that bitter, but it has a good smooth, somewhat oily, mouthfeel.
