| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 13, 2009 Ehh. Aroma is grainy, nothing of note. Flavor is very similar. This beer is just kind of there. ben4321 (1041), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 23, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Total Wine - Richmond, 7/23/09
Aroma: Caramel malts, light hop nose, bit of fruit (cherry?), an almost medicinal quality
Appearance: Hazy amber-orange color, decent off-white head, some light lacing
Flavor: Similar to the nose, but kind of weak/light, some malts, some hops, not a lot there
Palate: Decent mouthfeel, long finish, decent amount of body
Overall Impression:
It’s an alright ESB, decent flavor, easy to drink, not bad, but a bit dull. jbye4334 (710), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 23, 2009 (bottle). Cloudy amber color. Medium off white head. Light malt aroma. Malty flavor with light floral hops. Avg duration. Light bitterness. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing. williamherbert (475), Syracuse, New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Red orange; nice carbonation and hazy, fluffy head. Doesn’t look bad. Pleasant English ale style aroma; bready hop with a mild, estery hop. Some unusual musty funk (possibly due to age?). The taste is a mild, subdued hop, even more bready malt; surprising alcohol at the end. Twinge of spicy Belgian-style malt, but only lasts for a moment. Musty aftertaste. Creamy, substantial feel, almost in the vein of Guinness. This baby is English ale all the way, with a weird funk at the end. Leighton (302), New York, New York, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Pours a dark amber. Somehwhat paradoxically, I find the flavor of this organic beer a bit artificial. Kind of sweet, not very well-balanced. I don’t know. Perhaps I’m not appreciating the flavor this beer offers but it just does nothing for me. stchloe (491), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2009 This was served a little warm just do to the weather. Mild bitterness, not unpleasent with a general woody body. Easy to drink and I can see a six pack on a hot day. boFNjackson (1319), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Bottle from Organic Brewers Fest... Poured amberish-red with an off-white head. Candy and malts on the nose. Fizzy palate. Very sweet and not much of a hop presence. Jolly Rancher-like candy flavors and buttery/toffee malts. Very light and easy to drink.
