| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Deep copper color with a foamy, off-white head.
Aroma: A malty "bitter" nose with a hint of sourness and butter in there.
Flavor: Malty at first with a touch of caramel. This is replaced with a decent back bitterness that lingers on the tongue.
Palate: Medium-high, aggressive carbonation with a medium, dry mouthfeel and a medium-short, bitter, then clean finish.
Overall: An okay ESB that is just a bit short in the flavor and palate departments. Nothing special here. Enjoyit (1744), Vadum, Denmark

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Aroma is of malts and yeast. Flavor is malts, almost tastes like an October fest. Little weak on the finish. NosirIwont (1184), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep golden amber-brown with an off-white head. Sweetish, malty aroma with hops in the background. Flavour is malty and feels rather mild. Remote milky notes. Dry finish. Lingering malty notes. Overall an okay beer, but a bit boring. 26-09-09.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009Pours a clear amber from the 12oz. bottle served at Redlight Redlight (Orlando, FL): Unimpressive. A little too hoppy for an ESB, and though I love hops, it’s just not true to the style. Malted sweetness, florals, bitter finish, lemon-y, light molasses, complex. Drinkability: Bland and forgettable. Rebuy: Probably not. #149 on 17102009, DG. dimenhetfield (202), , Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Pretty small for a ESB. Has a small bite that can be pleasant, but it leaves you wanting more. It has a dark brown color when poured and a small off white foam head. A little hoppy but lacks character that a ESB should have. Hopper (323), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 15, 2009 A amber-brown beer with little head. The aroma is sweet, & the taste is malty sweet, with a dash of hops. Way too sweet. Blah brewski519 (422), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Tasted this ESB at WBF in Duham. Poured a clear copper color with a thin head. Aroma of malt, hops, floral and yeasty. Taste was more of a malty amber as opposed to bitter in my opinion but not bad. Just didn’t stand out though.
