| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Apr 22, 2006 Amber, clear, malty nose, a bit of hops, flavor is lightly malty, slightly metallic bitterness, overly unpleasant. Not great. pivo (2537), Germany
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2006 Light pleasant nose, gold-amber color, sticky head. Honey malt, spicy end. Medium body, crisp texture. OK beer. Not much ESB-like, but that’s OK with this one. nhorween (640), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 20, 2006 Nice amber color. Poured with a thin beige head. Appropriate hoppy smell with notes of pine. Thick mouth feel with nice carbonation. Dry finish with a dissappointing aftertaste that leaves an oily feel in the mouth. Not great, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the other 5 (Yes I do).

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 16, 2006 Bottle. Dark amber pour with a moderate frothy white head that lasted and had good lacing. Average sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium balanced malt and hop flavor with a moderate hoppy bitter finish. HighGravity (890), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Apr 14, 2006 Malty, but otherwise balanced beer. Spicy, earthy, and butter. Otter Creek never knock my socks off, but they make good balanced beers. theshocker (329), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 13, 2006 Reddish, dark tan. Crystal clear, minimal head. English hops in the nose. Spice, very inviting. Puckering bitterness, smooth finish. Medium body. Earthy notes. Prety good american ESB. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Apr 3, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown. Very bitter without all that much flavor. Some malt and fruit, but not enough to compensate for the bitterness. It was ragged not like other smoother ESB’s I have had in the past. I like Otter Creek offerings so this was a disappointment. jde123 (715), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 1, 2006 A terribly bland beer. No true hoppiness, but a slight bitterness. Pours with a small head, nice floral aromas, and a decent translucent amber body. It receives low marks on flavor and a somewhat viscous mouthfeel...
