Jan 2, 2006 Bottle, from Ryan & Casey’s. Ok nose, sweet. Apricot, biscuit, nutty/mealy. Clean reddish orange color, though I poured the sediment into a second glass, with little to no head or lacing. Sweet bitter flavor. Nutty, grapefruit, spice of the EKG shows up. Medium body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, bitter sweet finish, I thought it was tasty and hit all the marks of an ESB.

Sep 5, 2005 Cask at the brewpub.Reddish orange, tannish head. Slight hop and fruit nose, with a hint of licorice. Malt dominates with a hint of carmel. Sharp hop finish. The hops build through the pint and bring balance.

Jul 15, 2005 Well made and very smooth ESB. I had this on cask at the brewery and it went down real easy. Hops on the nose and tongue, but what really made this special was just the supersmooth taste and lingering hop aftertaste. Wow. Nice job.

Jul 2, 2004 Draught @ Brass Cat, Easthampton MA: Pours a deep copper/bronze, small diminishing head, caramel, sweet malt nose. Slightly thin in body, faint malts and large bitter hops provide a bit of an unbalanced brew, but it is very quaffable none-the-less. Decent, but not exceptional. But, perhaps a more fresh sample would be ideal for a re-rate, as Im sure it is not a big seller where I had my pint. But its good to see the Peeps Pint shipping kegs about the area, woohoo!
