| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Mar 29, 2004 Big, white head. This is very well balanced, but the malt rather musty/earthy leaving a rather unpleasant finish. surfmurf (77), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Feb 23, 2004 Very Slight bitter aftertaste, but on the sweet side. Overall a very good brew. Was not expecting a brew made by a confectioner. r464 (285), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 17, 2004 Copper color with a small head. Malty aroma. Not nearly as strong and bitter as most English ESBs. This is what they would call a "light bitter". Very good nonetheless, and a great choice for a session ale. egajdzis (3626), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA

Mildy bitter citrus, fairly smooth orange taste. A nice bitter. rabuc (143), carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2004 flying fish is one of my favorite micro-brews. this beer looked good ....a nice copper/redish colored brew with a thin, weak head. when i tasted this beer i detected a distinct malty flavor with pretty good body. it finished pretty clean but needed more bitterness. was more of a straight amber in my view. this is a good beer but not flying fish's best!

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2004 Candy-red color with a thin head. Barest of mellow flavors. Lightly citric, sweet. I'd call this an average American amber, not a bitter.
