Jul 2, 2003 Slightly hazy red-copper w/ finger of beige foam. Very citrusy, piny nose w/ malt background. Medium body. Good clean malt & fresh hoppy flavour. Not overstated but quite good.

Jun 6, 2003 12 oz. bottle. Poured out a darker shade of a hazy copper color. Cloudy appearance to it. Smells of caramel, hops, and malts. Actually smells just like Bigfoot ale. Tastes very smooth, with a nice malt beginning to it. Has that classic Centennial hops bite to it as well. Finishes smooth, with a caramel aftertaste to it. A pretty good beer, all in all.

May 13, 2003 Quite malty and more bitter than an English Bitter. More like a US amber ale. Plenty of malt, but they get lost behind the hop assault. Why do I buy these beers?

Apr 14, 2003 Poured a red body with a white head that quickly diminshes. No lacing.
Very hoppy aroma with an underwhelming malt presence.
'Biscuit-like' quality is there in the flavor with an almost IPA level hoppiness. Very strange combination of color, malt and hops that comes together nicely.
A bit of a chalky mouthfeel.

Feb 17, 2003 Good flavor, very hoppy for a good ESB representation. Sweet for a red, better than red ale.

Nov 19, 2002 Deep copper colored with significant floral hop and malt tones in the aroma. Thick malt flavor contributes to a caramely full body that finishes with mellow, not overly-assertive hop bitterness. A fine ESB.
