Commercial Description:
This ESB (Extra Special Bitter) displays the subtle copery hue of "Old Gold." Its mighty depth of flavor will awaken taste buds and complements "pub" fare such as lamb and game. It is a natural accompaniment with spicy foods. Bronze medal winner at the 1998 World Beer Championships.

Huge head on dark orange. Layered aroma of delicious oranges and candy settles into strong hops. Dusty candied orange creamsicle flavour.

Bottle from Jeff (doclock) Thanks. Pours out a orange / gold color with not much of a head. Smell is slightly hoppy and it has some sweet malty flavors in it. Taste is good, smooth and refreshing. I didnt really take the time to pick out any flavors I got from it, because it was so easy to drink I drank the bottle in about 5 minutes. Good stuff, would be a seriously kick ass session beer.

Liked it. Had a malty sweet finish at first, though it seemed to fade as I downed the bottle. Overall, a nice gulp.

Thanks to DocLock for this one. Pours a light golden with small head. A pretty bland brew. Mild hops and malts. I’m not saying it’s bad. It is just nothing special. Seems like a good summer beer.

Golden colour with a slight haze to it. Large puffy head. Light hop floral aroma. Malts lingering around. Bitters at the back of my tongue. Not that strong in flavours at all.

12oz. bottle: This one pours with a huge head on it. The color is a slightly hazt, slightly darker golden color. The aroma is a bit floral with some sweetness in the background. The taste is a bit of a mish-mash of flavors. They all seems to collide and don’t balance well at all. Definitely bitter and dry at the end. OK, but I probably won’t be coming back to this one.

Nice nose of malts and floral hops. Good amber body, clear, with a good white head and nice lacing. A bit thin in the mouth, with an astringency I did not care for. Taste is an odd mix of floral hops with American west coast pine and citrus, some sweet malt, and a bitter finish. Definitely too much American hop for an ESB, too much European hop for an American IPA. Not sure what to make of it. Not unpleasant, actually, just not great.

Part 3 in cleaning out the fridge. Two much low grav stuff. This has a bitter, chocolately biscuity aroma, earthy hops and mushrooms. Taste is of moist bread and damp soil, basically right on target for an ESB, though pretty boring nonetheless.
