Nov 15, 2008 Bottle bought at College Liquors in Grand Junction. Pours a clear amber color with a large white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is mostly rich caramel malts and some citrus hops. The taste is very nice; sweet and rich caramel malts, some pine and citrus hops in the finish. A clean and easygoing brew. Pretty nice.

Nov 15, 2008 From total wine. Amber pour. fluffy head. Aroma is malt and hops, nothing interesting. Flavor is unpleasantly bitter with some grainy malts too. Not so great.

Oct 26, 2008 Slightly hazy amber brown with fair khaki head. Aroma of light floral hops and a slight sweet nuttiness. Flavor reminds me of a pale ale. I actually found that it was maltier when first poured, and gained hoppiness as it warmed. Not that bad after it breathes a bit.

Oct 19, 2008 Why the low rating? I love this stuff. Very good ESB. Nose is sweet rich. Flavors of roasted malt, caramel, light hops. I love this brew one of my favs.

Oct 18, 2008 Nice 12oz pour to a big rocky and fluffy white head. Fullers is my benchmark and this is way lighter in color. This looks more like an IPA than a ESB but the nose is all classic ESB. Mucho malt on the 1st sip and that classic Brit ESB finish that is malt then a whack over the head that tells you there is a nice quantity of hops but still balanced. this has a classic ESB taste for sure but seems a bit refined for the style. Then again, you don’t get any better than Fullers ESB. Still considered worthy of the price charged here in Pa for a case. $36!!!!
