Aug 4, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Bright clear deep copper, small foamy head. Sweet light roast malt aroma, floral/perfumy hops, dry, a hint of yeast and dried rose petals. Taste is ... I don’t know, I almost want to say nasty; the malt seems cardboardy, the hops are harshly bitter and herbal, the (long-lingering) aftertaste is medicinal - not nice. Average body, light carbonation, bitter - aroma’s too sweet, taste is bitter in the wrong way.

Jun 22, 2006 12oz bottle pours amber with a short offwhite creamy head that stays briefly and laces some. Aromas of caramel malts and light grassy hops. Flavor is pretty malty as well. Caramel, light grains and a somewhat bitter hop finish. Medium bodied and pretty well balanced. Quite drinkable and not bad.

Jun 12, 2006 Bottled on 3/08/06, Lot #1867. Clear and copper with a small head. Faint aroma of caramel malt and a little hoppiness. Not too much. Flavor is simple and refreshing. Nice bready and caramel malt with a small toastiness in the background. There’s a slight bittering from the hops, but it’s subtle. Finishes toasty and slightly sweet ... kind of like it begins. Basically, it’s a nice and simple ESB.
