| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Had this beer on 5/2/1998. Color is a rich golden brown and although it dos not have the haze that the IPA has it does have a small amount of yeast floating in it. Carbonation is low and there is almost no head. There is only the slightest scent of malt of the top of the glass so there isn’t any aroma to talk about. Taste is good with a crisp body and strong bitter finish. It starts off with a crisp body and as it goes down you can feel the bitterness starting with a slight bit at the back of your mouth. The Finish comes on with a good bitterness that last only a moment, leaving you clean. ndubs360 (114), portland, Oregon, USA

Great floral scent of strong hops and subtle malts. Strong flavor and hits a little hard. Followed with a sweet sensation. Classic in my opinion. SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 15, 2007 Very English tasting. By that I mean: it has that ESB/no hops taste (yes, I know it’s hopped, but in that light way...). Not bad for an ESB. Gregis (1135), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2007 Pours a sparkling dark orange with a rocky, beige head. Notes of caramel and toasted bread with perfumy hops backing up the malts. The mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied and creamy with a nice bitter hop finish. The flavor is an effervescent toasted malt and caramel with a pleasant fruity hop conclustion. Creamy and smooth, I rather like this one. Nice balance and easy drinking.
