| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 28, 2006 Moderate hop and sweet malt aroma. moderately bitter and malty. Some light citrus notes. Dry with a effervescent carbo. Not my favorite ESB but decent. Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 24, 2006 Orange appearance. Quickly diminishing white head. Much more bitter than other ESBs from England. Seems more like a pale ale. An ordinary beer. NYR885 (2), USA does not count | 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 23, 2006 Bottle. Poured amber color. Taste was very hoppy and the bittnerness remained even after it had gone down. Definitely a good one to try if you like ESBs. tronraner (1916), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 21, 2006 Bottle. Pours golden honey color with fluffy off-white head, which leaves cavescape lacing. It has a fruity hop aroma with some sweet malt and a touch of biscuit. The flavor is quite fruity, with some toffee, indistinct bitterness, cake-icing-like sweetness, and an earthy finish.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 16, 2006 Excellent beer, far exceeding expectations. Pours a great hazy orange with a very sticky head. Aroma is remrkable hops and honey malt. Flavor is hoppy for an ESB, but I think it balances enough with a honey sweet finish. Great creamy, silky mouthfeel. delmecum (87), Western Illinois, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 14, 2006 I liked it....but then again I like hoppy beer and this makes it work. ANOTHER great beer by Great Divide. Keep em coming gentlemen and ladies. anders37 (4691), Malmö, Sweden
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 12, 2006 Bottle. Hazy orange colour with a tan head. Malty and fruity aroma with hints of citrus. Malty flavor with caramel hints. Long hoppy aftertaste. csbosox (1081), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 12, 2006 12 oz bottle. Bottled 2nd week of October. Served in a pint glass @ 47°. Copper colored with a big, white, frothy head. There is visible yeast in the bottom of the glass. The aroma is honeyish malts and citrusy hops. The initial taste is sweet, bready malt, with a hint of green apple followed by an earthy, woodsy hops rush and a lingering, mildly bitter finish. More bitter than a typical ESB, but otherwise a good example. A good session beer for some, but not really my cup of tea (I don’t care for these hops).
