| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2003 Clear orange golden hue. Very light aroma, musty and fruity. Taste is very bitter at first, more subtle over the tongue, with wood and nut tones. Harsh but dull bitterness, without balance at the end. Cinammon and spice tones within the finish are nice.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 6, 2004 Little to no head or lacing. Filtered bourbon look. The aroma is weak, faint, some nutty malt, almost no hops there but just enough to make it not seem so sweet. The flavor has a weird off-note of metal & mud, hard to describe. The finish is weak, forgetful. motelpogo (4399), Plzen, Czech Republic

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 17, 2005 On tap at the brewery. This was a nice ESB, pouring a clear copper with a smooth white head. Lots of hops give a big floral aroma. The citrus hops balance out the beer against the toasty herbal malts with a light fruitiness. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
