this started out great. . . but then went no where. it has almost no body. just a nice fruity, hoppy nose that peters off leaving me thinking. why didnt they finish making this beer? MORE MORE MORE, thats all it needed.

A nice looking beer with a well balanced flavor. Not your typical party brew but very good for having one or two with friends.

Nice hopped ESB. Light hop aroma ixed with malt. A bit of a bite in the finish.

Clear amber in color, light beige head and fair lace. Nose is malt, top light, the finish is nicely hopped, dry, lightly acidic, and a good drinkable beer.

Pale orange in color; Fluffy, cloudy head. Appropriately dry in the back. Lacks the alcohol punch that I enjoy in an ESB.

One of the better ESBs I’ve had out of the bottle and not on a hand pump or something like that, kept a very nice head throughout the pint, very nicely balanced with a crisp malty flavor, a nice hoppy aftertaste, not quite as bitter as I expected, but still a pretty nice ESB

Re-rate: A solid session brew. Good hops in the aftertaste. First rating: A good beer to have ice cold on a hot day.
