Jan 25, 2007 This is my first ESB so I am by no means an expert but it had a nice copper color with a decent head at first. Hoppy taste but it goes down smooth.

Jan 25, 2007 Bottle. Has a medium foamy head that remains intact filming the top. Lovely lacing. Light in color, but has a happy feel. Fast coursing bubbles treading through amber drink. Subtle hoppy smell, slightly fruity, with very little accents of alcohol. First impression is creamy and gentle, followed by a pleasing barley and fig combination. Soothing and refreshing. A nice everyday beer.

Jan 25, 2007 Bottle... Poured an orange/amber color with a white head and nice lacing. Sweet malty aroma, sort of a bland palate, not much there in body, quick finish. Flavors of mild, roasted malt, and maybe caramel. Not very ESB like. Very enjoyable but I have had better ESBs.

Jan 23, 2007 This is one of my favorite styles, and used to be one of my favorite beers. Maybe my tastes have changed, but in the past year it seems to be trending towards blandness. Not a bad beer to sip on a warm day, and predictable as a Budweiser, but lots of other ESB’s out there with more malt and hop character.

Jan 17, 2007 Updated: Feb 25, 2008This is one of my favorite beers! It pours a beautiful amber, red color with a thick frothy head. The taste is smooth, appetezing, with a pleasant malt bitterness. Great for relaxing with after work. Overall a great example of the bitters style from an exceptional brewing company.

Jan 16, 2007 Compliment from Bud. Bottle poursgolden hue w/lots of carbonation and a white bubbly head. A stale beer aroma was noticable. Mouthfeel was stinging with carbonation burn and watery. Flavor was that of a strong ale with alchohol burn. Aftertaste was lingering bitter. I like bitters. I drank this ice cold and found it quite refreshing. I’d drink it again for free.
