| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2007 Bottle from Bottle Barn; Nose of sweet flowers; like a floral nectar; copper with a thick, glass lacing, pale yellow head; flavor is sweet citrus with hop bitterness lightly lacing the background. Not like most ESBs but flavorful and enjoyable. I think my daughter in law Kiapepito would like this one. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 13, 2007 Moderate amber body with a nice head. Lightly honeyed, floral hops in the bouquet. Very bitter, ESBish flavor, but enjoyable, though sour-metallic finish detracts. rmussman (905), California, USA

Just found this dude lurking around my fridge. Thought I had lost him. Pours a nice amber color. The head didn’t last to long :rolleyes: The smell is very good. The drinkability and mouth feel are both good also. The taste was not quite what I thought from an ESB but is till really good. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA

Caramel and floral hops up front. Again oxidation setting in. Flavor very much the same, oxidation becomes ven more evident. Body thins out at times. Just average.
