Jul 13, 2007 Served as a deep, coppery/red with golden lowlights under an ecru head settling to a watery film. Aromas are dry & lemony with orange rind and tea bitters. Quite aromatic, actually. Balanced flavor leaning towards bitterness, a bit like sucking on a full-flavored tea bag. Mid-bodied with a thinning sharpness and mild mineral notes in the finish. My wife says, "I could totally session this", and I agree.

May 15, 2007 On tap at Volo. Unimpressed. Similar to their tankhouse ale, but without the flavour. Bitter, but unpleasingly so. The brew is not your run of the mill beer, but it just made me cringe.

Apr 7, 2007 Admittedly I’m not the biggest ESB fan, but this one seemed pretty solid. Amber in colour with a thick white head. Grainy and hoppy in scent with a hint of malt. Starts off slow and slightly sweet like caramel, then finishs off with a hoppy malt bitter aftertaste. Pretty decent for the style of beer, but nothing to write home about.

Mar 2, 2007 on tap at the mill street brewpub. I have to say, its not spectacular, i find the oktoberfest, tankhouse, esb, and IPA are all VERY similar with just very very very subtle differences. decent beer, but nothing great

Feb 16, 2007 On tap @ Volo, Toronto
Pint of clear amber with typical to bitter ales bright white top.
Fresh grainy nose with good dose of refreshing hops.
I liked this ale . Good , clean work . Malt base developed well, hoppy presence to no much (it’s not IPA), but felt all right. It’s nothing you will go crazy for but gotta say that it was brewed with out any major faults. Clean, solid brew. Light enough to be perfect choice as local session beer. Feel like having good chat with friends on Friday eve, this might be the beer to choose for.

Feb 1, 2007 [090-20061104] Tap @ Mill St. (Toronto, ON). Light yeasty grain aroma. Cloudy, ruddy orange body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Hoppy flavour, grainy yeast, lightly fruity. Harsh palate but nice.
