| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 11, 2001 Brilliant; georgeous hoppy nose preceding a full malty body, the characteristic Goose Island hop flavor (what hops are these, anyway?) and a slight nutmeg/cloves kind of sweet spiciness.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 19, 2000 ESB’s are a favorite style, this is a great representation of the fine English Ales. Malt and hop floral nose. Clean and crisp, very drinkable beer. JoeM500 (1876), Chicago (little italy), Illinois, USA

It is so smooth with a soft malty beginning that turns to a hoppy spicy finish. It’s almost gone, so grab a couple six packs if you see ’em! Sickboy282 (1100), San Diego, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 6, 2002 I got a mix pack and this was in it, and I was hoping it was old like many tend to be. Im not the biggest ESB fan, but this brew is an ecxellent intro. Well balance hops with a smooth crisp palate. Reccommended Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA

Aroma of piney hops and citrus. (Reminds me of dope) Flavor is very hoppy and bitter. Pine needles, spices and lemons. TAR (2095), Boulder Co., Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2002 One of the best ESB’s. Very English and authentic to its style. Great use of dry-hopping/ The aroma smells like kind nuggets and pine. Hops are huge in the beginning with toasty like maltiness in the long finish. A superbly balanced beer. This would be in my fridge all year if possible. Comes out each Fall around Late Sept. trappist12 (200), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 12, 2002 Not a bad ESB. Has a unique tea-butterscotch like property. I dont equate this with a normal property of an ESB though
