| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 10, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber color with a small off white head. Smells of light piney hops and grapefruit citrus. Probably more of the fruity citrus comes through than pine though. Pretty fresh and crisp tasting, although maybe a touch overcarbonated on the palate. The flavor is mostly the same citrus and hop mix. Nothing really different, or interesting for that matter, comes out in the taste. A little bit earthy, with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Pretty uninspiring, but certainly drinkable. voota (765), Melbourne, Australia
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2008 Hazy copper with a pretty small tan head. Really earthy, dry toffee aroma. Some custard, pears too. Nice malty body belies the alcohol strength, a bit salty in the mouthful. Dry, fruity flavour, has lots of those earth tones you can only find in fuggles, it works really well. Toffee flavours and a slight hint of sweetness hit near the finish, which is otherwise fairly quick. A good beer, but I dont think I could drink too much of it for some reason.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2008 Last reviewer nailed it, copper color, small head, sweet malt with slightly larger hop presense than expected.
Very good ESB. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2008 Pours a full copper color with little head. Aroma is of sweet malt as well as some hop bitterness. Flavor is a bit sweet, of sugary malt with a little more hop presence than I expected. Quite good.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2008 Light amber in color. 2 inch frothy off white head. Great, hoppy aroma. Strong hoppy taste, with some bread notes. Palate is a little runny and weak (watery). Malty finish. cking (1041), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 2, 2008 Rich copper pour with a thick, lasting head and good lacing. Semi-sweet caramel aroma with notes of cereal and floral hops. Balanced beer that is quenching with a light dry quality. Medium to thin in body, it’s an easy drink. A fair amount of nutty grains and caramel in the flavor along with fresh buttered bread. There is an abundant floral and grassy hop flavor as well. A nice every day bitter that I really enjoy. restless7 (104), Lenexa, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 30, 2008 BOTTLE: 46F. Nice copper color with thick foamy head, slight lacing. Aroma is a bit hoppy with a hint of sweetness. Flavor is pretty good, like a hoppy brown ale more than a bitter. In fact, it’s not very bitter at all. Palate is lively with a dry short finish. Nice drinkable ale unclemike (833), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Ripe citrus aroma, with some floral hops coming through as well. An appealing taste of many different fruits at the center of this beer. Malt profile is slightly chewy, this is a well balanced beer that you can really wrap your palate around. Satisfying with a ingratiating lingering aftertaste.
