Dec 1, 2009 Bottle from Bierkoning. Nice golden body with quick-receding head. Nice malty and toffee nose. Slightly watery. But nice punch to it. Well-balanced and well done.

Nov 30, 2009 Poured pale copper and slightly hazy. A short white ring of foam appeared. Spots of lacing. The aroma was mild citrus and some old hops and iced tea. The flavor followed suit. Some light spice came out towards the end. Thin body, sort of refreshing. Not terrible.

Nov 28, 2009 Mine poured a dark cloudy orange. The head was freaking huge and thick; slight beige with the consistency of bubble bath! Citrus caramel in the nose with something else I just can’t place. Tastes a bit caramelly with little malt.
Hoppy finish with a bitter aftertaste. It’s a little overly carbonated as the fizz burned on the tongue. This is unusual, but not bad.

Nov 25, 2009 Bottled. Clear orange color, medium head. Aroma of some hop, hit of orange, caramel. Dry grassy bitter taste. Quite boring.

Nov 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Malty toned body with some light dry fruit notes. A light hop tone with caramel and a drying bitter finish. Decent.

Nov 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber/copper with little head. Aroma was a little funky... I couldn’t quite figure out what was wrong with it but the taste was significantly better than the smell. Malty and hoppy character. Nice beer

Nov 4, 2009 coppery color with almost no haze. head settles to thin veil after a minute. looks about like an ESB should.
Apple and graham cracker aroma.
Creamy smooth mouthfeel - could be grittier.
Crisp grains and hops jump out first
moderate bitterness with tart mineral finish.
Well balanced consistent product. retains thin veil of head throuout.
One of my favorite ESB’s.
