| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 20, 2002 Appearance: tawny red/orange, decent-sized but fast-fading head, slightly translucent; aroma weak, but some nice fruit and hop notes. Flavor really pretty boring; there’s some hops, some malt, but it all feels like there’s nothing at the center, like its just a surface with nothing inside. Somewhat bitter finish; little sweetness, medium body. Not a good ESB. Drinkingdan (371), East Norriton, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 26, 2002 I’m not a fan of this style, and this beer didn’t change that. A decent appearance, but a bit cloudy. Bitter, of course, but not in what I would call a good way. A bad aftertaste ravidesai (915), Bombay, India
