| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 15, 2008 Not strong enough to be an ESB. Orange/copper, fairly clear. Light-bodied for a bitter. That said, good sweetness, good earthiness. Not bad. krautdog (15), Gimmelstümph, Germany

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 18, 2007 Sampler draft at the brewpub. Pours a deep iced tea brown with a creamy beige head that reduces to a lasting thin skin. Nice creamy lacing. The aroma is of nutty malt and lightly fruity hops. Light-bodied and slick with a tight, hoppy, bitter finish. Lightly nutty malt with a faint caramel backing and a fruity hop conclusion. A very solid ESB, and one of my favorites of the evening. 10/14/07 kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 22, 2007 Thanks to Bob, Michelle, and mostly my baby Jana for the 12th annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival today! On tap @ the fest. Nose of dried fruit & flowers. The brew is clear copper. The quickly diminishing creamy off white head leaves light lace. The very floral flavor is well balanced and has a light acidity. The finish is long and bitter. The medium body is creamy & soft. The finish feels dry. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 21, 2007 Had on draft at the pub. Very sweet and malty, followed by a slight hop finish. I wasnt expecting to like this being a bit anti hop as I am, but this was actually pretty good and very drinkable! marvelred21 (6), USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2007 On tap at the brew pub. This beer pours a dark hazy brown allmost copper like with an good off-white head. The aroma is strong with hops and sweet malts. The flavor was just that and more. Hopey but off set with sweet malts and a hint of a tart fruit. It goes down smooth and creamy with a slight bitter finish. A very good Bitter beer.
