Dec 31, 2003 An amber ale that pours with a nice head. This beer looks good in a glass. Some malt on the nose. You can feel some body in. Taste wise it starts out with a nice malt flavor which is quickly balanced by hop bitterness, but it is not overly so. This is a very good beer.

Nov 24, 2003 Amber ale with a nice caramel nose, and some citrus. Nice maltiness , but agian not very bitter, as the hops do not come out very well.

Nov 13, 2003 Sparkling clear, amber ale... the very definition of amber.
The aroma is of caramel, chocolate and light grapefruit.
Malty sweet and fairly bitter flavor. Almost balanced, but the syrupy sweet maltiness wins out overall.
Medium-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, bittersweet finish.

Nov 5, 2003 (bottled). Reddish copper color and brilliantly clear. Caramelly aroma with the faintest hint of roasted or chocolate malt and a light floral hoppiness. Lots of malt leads the attack on this medium-bodied gem, fruity esters and hop flavors accompany the assertive bitterness that balances the malt perfectly. The finish is smooth and lingers elegantly.

Nov 5, 2003 Beer Engine - Sweet, almost fuity aroma. Moderate malt body. Generous English hops provide a nice balance.

Oct 11, 2003 Great amber colour with a dense off-white head. Pleasant aroma, nice malt/hop balance, showing english hops and even a mild berry aroma. Medium-bodied; Initial flavour is fairly bland - but some malt, sweetness and hops are noticeable. Aftertaste somewhat spicey and then left mild. Overall, not a bad beer, not great nor true to the style! I got this twelve ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liqour in Washington, D.C. and sampled it on 10-October-2003.

Oct 9, 2003 Nice copper color. Subtle aroma of hops and malt. Flavor has some caramel and malt. Finish is crisp and slightly bitter. A nice example of an ESB.

Oct 7, 2003 One of my favorite Brewery's. This beer has a copper color and has a amber head. Very good. Its malty and hoppy, but well balanced between the both. It is a pleasant beer to drink.
