Sep 29, 2007 500ml Bottle: Didn’t realize this was an ESB when I picked it up, although the picture of hops on the label should have given it away. Poured cloudy and orange, a decent white head. The aroma was surprising, very sweet. The taste was much lighter than I’d expected from the aroma, very pale, hints of citrus and a good serving of hops. It’s well balanced, pretty good.

Sep 23, 2007 Good colour with a slightly sticky beige head. Aroma fruity with some slightly citric hops. Smooth, sweetly malty and fairly well balanced, solid if a bit dull.

Sep 8, 2007 Pours a caramel color with a slight red tone to it. Smell has a barley tone to it with a mild sweet edge to it. Taste is somewhat interesting with a pronounced barley flavor to it. It has a frothy mouth to it that feels good. You could drink a lot in a sitting and it is worth trying, but I have to say I doubt this is the finest example of the style.

Aug 31, 2007 Bottle.
Pours amber with a limited head. Restrained aroma, grassy with a bit of apple. The flavor is grainy, bready, metallic, and disappointing. None of the warm malts of the better examples of the style, and not much going on here.

Aug 11, 2007 I agree that this is the best from Wychwood I’ve had so far because it has a phat malty layer along with some grain flavors and a not too dry finish. The soapyness is part of the style but it does kind of ruin things a bit. I picked this up at Tommy’s wine and food emporium in Duck, NC because the traffic was a bit heavy (should of gone to Chips in Kill Devil Hills). Maybe I should have spent less than $5.99 and opten for a $3.99 Chimay.
