Jul 18, 2009 12 ounce bottle - $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed, mahogany-hued body with a full inch of off-white head.
Smell: Sufficient ESB nose with notes of caramel and softly toasted biscuit-like malts with some hints of fruit, including citrus, as well as some spicy, zesty English hops.
Taste: Biscuity malts with a slightly caramel-coated sweetness to it. Small hint of lemony citrus fruitiness as well as a few select drops of apricot juice. Largely spicy hops with a zip of clean bitterness. Undertones of grains come through on the back end. Drying, spicy, lightly citrus-laden finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A solid, smooth, easy-drinking, fairly enjoyable ESB from BridgePort.

May 19, 2009 Cloudy copper pour, low head, some lacing. Bittersweet musty smell. Thick somewhat fizzy, sweey and hoppy, tastes like an IPA. Some raisins/dates, a fizzy alcoholic brew. Sort of strange musty flavor, reminds me of rotting fruit? Not as bad as that sounds.

Apr 21, 2009 This was a quite passive ESB. Malty for the style with minimal hops. Not as lively as other ESBs. Solid for what it is

Mar 8, 2009 Reddish/orange pour. Plenty of live yeast present. Aroma is more malty than anything. Taste is not bad. Much better than Fullers or other established ESB’s. Malty flavor, little on the finish.
