| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Bottle. Clear copper orange with a small head that really tries to last. True ESB aroma that I like; earthy-spiced, peppery dry cereal grain with some sweet creamy marshmallows mixed in. Big spicy malt on front, getting drier and more bitter on the finish. In the transition, many flavors: caramel, apples, grapes, toasted nuts; all sprinkled with tingly pepper and earth spices. Palate is light-medium; smooth on front with the hop tingle on the end.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 23, 2007 Rosy malat aroma. Good label. Lightly tart, kinda odd tasting, almost lagery. Mediumsweet, a little aclohol bitterness, alternates between lively carbonation and starchy flavors. good cap, fair label, medium bronze. Finishes with some tangy fruit.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 23, 2007 Medium orange pour, soft, off white head - slighlty thin. Aroma at first out of he bottle reminds me of Copenhagen snuff, but mellows to a nice fruity, flowery concoction. Flavor has some decent subtle bitterness with hints of nectarines, mint and some doughy sweetness in the back end. Would make a decent session beer. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy. Thanks to Aurelius for bringing this back from a business trip. michael-pollack (2759), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Smelled of malts and caramel. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Good lacing. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor of caramel malts and hops. Medium body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Malty finish. Not bitter. Goodgrief (1161), Middletown, Delaware, USA
