Jul 12, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks Andy. The aroma was of citrus and subdued caramel with a hint of cherry. Poured a slightly hazy reddish-orange color with a thin off white head. Slightly sweet with mild hop bitterness that peaked toward the end. Smooth mouth feel with carbonation on the lower end of the spectrum. I tasted pale malt, light green vegetable, citrus fruits, and a hint of spruce.

Jun 21, 2008 Stud tasting 1.0 held at general_gaos. Thanks for putting up with us colin! Amber pour with little head. Caramel and toffee aroma. Flavor is more toffee, some orange, earth, chocolate, and tangerines. Finishes mildly bitter, good carbonation. Opened up quite a bit when it warmed up, lots of citrus hops going on in this one.

May 28, 2008 An amber apperance with a small head. The aroma isnt a crotch but instead some caramel, dark malts, and a hint of citrus. The flavor is slighty bitter and rather malty with some dark fruits, caramel, and a hint of lemons. Overall a pretty good beer.

May 24, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of toasty caramel malts and a touch of English hops. Body start fairly full and caramely sweet with a good balance of English malts and bitterness before a smooth, drinkable finish. A true to style and enjoyable ESB. I’d love to try this on cask.
