Jun 21, 2006 Pours hazy amber with a soapy off-white / tannish head. Aroma has clean malt with soft spicy hops and light traces of citrus. Medium bodied beer with soft carbonation. Initial taste is clean malts with light citrus hops. The malt takes a backseat shortly as teh hops take over with spicy hops being as prevalent as citrus on the finish. A very nice refreshing ESB.

Jun 19, 2006 A classic copper color of an English ESB with a thin, off-white head and some haziness in the body from bottle conditioning. A very earthy aroma with toasty, biscuity malt and fruitiness with a subtle apple-like character that intensifies as it warms. Fruity, somewhat bubblegummy yeast character with a solid malt and just a touch of hard water to dry it out. I could drink this all day long.

Jun 16, 2006 4 ounce sample at the brewpub in Portland, OR. Grainy, milky aroma with light citrus notes. Pretty faint. Transparent dark copper color with off-white head. Metallic, grainy start. A bit thin in the middle with faint floral hops to finish. Yawn. Conservative, boring. Is that drool on my shirt?

May 27, 2006 From an embossed slender 12oz. brown bottle with a blurb on the neck label, a coded bottled/freshness date on the back label.
Made a good appearance, poured a reddish tarnished copper with a foamy pale tannish head that settled into a thin foamy lacing, moderate carbonation.
Had a floral, fruity, buttery and sweet toasted malty nose with a little earthiness at the edges.
A crisp, slick and creamy smooth light bodied mouth feel, very good drinkability.
Floral and leafy earthy hoppiness at first, followed by a light fruitiness, a sweet toasted caramelized maltiness that balances the taste, a nice butteriness towards the end and a earthy hop and malty finish with the earthiness lingering in the palate.
A well made ESB from Bridgeport, if you like ESB’s or English beers in general, this is a must try.

May 19, 2006 It was a cloudy amber in color with a spare head. This had a nice hoppy flavor that wasn’t to strong. Almost a smooth taste.

May 16, 2006 This is a pretty impressive brew. Great lasting, chunky head. Pours a slightly hazy orange-brown. The aroma is crisp and fresh of citrus and pine. The hops/malts are very well balanced. Excellent flavor for the price.

May 6, 2006 Pours a cloudy amber with a small, off-white head. Aroma is hoppy and citrus filled. Taste is crips with hops, malt, and some floral tones. Body is heavier than most ESB’s - a very tasty brew.
