Mar 18, 2006 Definately a tasty beer, but not really what I would classify as an ESB. Overall, it could have been a little more hoppy, I guess you could say I would be happier if it was hoppier. I bought this for myself and the Great Divide Denver pale ale for a friend, and we both thought the pale ale was hoppier but not as clean and smooth as the ESB. I enjoyed it, but I won’t give it high marks.

Mar 15, 2006 While this has a good citrus smell and taste, it is not one of the best bitters I have had. However, it does not has as an aggressive hoppiness in comparison to other ESBs. It is very smooth and clean taste, as well as finish, and does not leave a nasty aftertaste (according to my wife who hates bitters). For an ESB, I did expect more of an aggressive hoppy bite. Overall, I would say it is mediocre, but would be good on hot days.

Mar 13, 2006 This is not my favorite take on this style. A sweet hop aroma, with some bitter maltiness, that is almost chalky, a hint of caramel, full of citrus, and just very ordinary and never seem to go anywhere, very one dimensional.

Mar 12, 2006 First off, I’m a fan of a decent beer I can get at the grocery store. Poured a translucent red-amber color with a white head. Semi-sweet hoppy aroma.The taste was the same, and a little bitter but in a good way. I’ll also always associate it with a great night spent with a beautiful woman I thought I’d never have a chance with.

Mar 1, 2006 I had this beer for a month or so and finally decided to try it; I’m not a big fan of ESBs. This poured yellowish with a HUGE head. I had a four inch head in the glass and couldn’t drink it for a while. Everything else was normal for ESB.
