| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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. MagooinPA (99), Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | 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!!!! joergen (8627), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Bottle from Sun Devil in Mesa, AZ. Slightly hazy amber color with a good beige head. Good retention. Floral hop over slightly roasted caramel for aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is somewhat roasted caramel with floral aspects to balance. Perhaps a bit of light stone fruit as well. Think they nailed the style, though it’s a bit rough. rustbucket0873 (146), Krikville, New York, USA
