Sep 6, 2005 A fairly strong ESB, unlike many of the cheap bottled imitations. Slightly sharp and unbalanced for my tastes -- I greatly prefer the best from the same brewer. Still greatly preferable to the majority of the style.

Jun 20, 2005 Cask... Clear, golden ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Wonderful retention. The earthy, buttery nose carries notes of lumber and butterscotch. Fruity, malty flavor. Well-balanced by excellent bittering. Medium-bodied and velvety with soft carbonation. Astringent, resiny finish.

Apr 5, 2005 Orioles Opening Day Festivities - Cask - Deep bronze and ambers, thin fizzy white head. Nice nose of fruity English hops, florals, and caramel, with lesser notes of breadiness, earth, and butter. Flavor held balance and integrated the hops and malt nicely. Definitely had a fruity hop presence throughout. Light to medium bodied, light carbonation, lightly bittered finish. Very drinkable stuff...

Jan 10, 2005 Cask beer, hand pulled thru a beer engine. Slightly warm, slightly undercarbonated, at least for my tastes.
Damn good aroma of English hops, and malts. Tastes are of English hops, malts, some diacetyl, and yeast bite to it as well. Alcoholic kick of a Georgia mule.
Balanced mouthfeel, coats the tongue well. Decent bitterness, lingering fruitiness from the yeast. A damn good rendition on the style.

May 4, 2004 That this has enough character tocome through as a cask beer says something. Ever so slightly astringent, grainy and fairly simple. Would have liked to have had a comparison with it as a "regular" CO2 driven beer. Not bad.

Feb 8, 2004 Attractive bronze appearance with a small head. Aroma was a bit nutty and a little spicy. Smooth, bitter flavor complimented by being served at the correct temperature. Good hop presence that enhanced, but not dominate the flavor. Tasty, dry finish.
