May 29, 2009 On nitro at Naked City’s Moylan’s Night. Pours clear amber with a creamy white head. Aroma is tea, nutty, biscuity malts, and slight grassy hops. Flavor has a little more caramel. Smooth but not much on the finish.

Apr 7, 2009 On tap at the brewpub in Novato, this came a clear amber color with a white head and good lacing. Nose of caramel malts and flora hops. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is malty with bitterness from the hops. A very easy drinking beer.

Jan 24, 2009 (Draft at Moylan’s Brewery) Light golden color. Carbonated with CO2. Very hoppy character. Little more "hoppyness" than I’d expect from an ESB. Sticks around on the pallate more than I care for.
Earlier Rating: 1/24/2009 Total Score: 3.4
(On draft at Moylan’s Brewery). Light golden color. Creamy head that dissipates fairly fast. Soft pallate, as befitting a Nitrogenated brew. To me it tasted as having the same flavor profile as the ESB on draft, though the Nitrogen

Sep 8, 2008 On tap at Stone; very floral aroma with a bit of bread and some caramel. Flavor was fruity, caramelly and flowery. It was ok for the style, but definitely "English" for me. golubj gave it the same score of 3.2, noting the fruity aroma with a bit of nasty malt in the flavor.

Feb 24, 2007 A very light mixed aroma of malt and hop. Darkish amber color with white head that laces a bit. Smooth and creamy start of decent but not overly strong hop. Some malt does arrive for the finish. Served at a reasonable temperature; close your eyes and you’re in England. Another great Moylan’s product.
