| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 30, 2006 Ambery copper, thin white fizzy head. Nose had tones of toasted caramel, light fruity esters and florals. Flavor is more of the same, lightly bittered, and is well balanced throughout. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, light bittersweet finish. In a pinch for sure, but never go out of your way for it.... scanman (146), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 30, 2006 Caramel, amber color, clean sweet aroma with malt and nutty initial flavors make this a solid ale. But the flavors and textures of this west coast favorite don’t jump out at you. The sweetness is off putting and hard to pair with food. TomDecapolis (3213), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 29, 2006 Pours a translucent copper with an average off white bubbly head. Aroma of toasted malts, sweet, malty a little floral hop. Flavors were a little nutty, toasty,sweet, medium hoppiness. A solid ESB. fakepurseninja (791), Washington, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 28, 2006 Perfectly predictable ale - nothing special to it. Crisp and bitter, the roasted malt taste of this really comes out over the bitter notes. very enjoyable but very plain. shendrix (478), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 27, 2006 A mildly floral nose with just a bit of roasted barley. Pleasantly carbonated to make this brew slide across the tongue. Tastes slightly of butternut Werther’s blended with roasted barley. The very mildest of hoppy finishes. All in all, a highly drinkable brew. milewide (620), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2006 Malty taste with good body. I miss more hops, but I enjoyed it. Part of a 4 beer variety pack. sneagrams3 (1761), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2006 12oz bottle. Clear and deep copper. Quickly dissipating white head. Mild to strong hop nose. Little mild sweet malt in the nose as well. Medium and dry. Strong crisp hops. Slight sweet candy note. Slight caramel malt flavor. Mildly biscuit. Lively and bitterly dry. This is a solid enough brew. jeremytoni (1122), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 22, 2006 A good drinking beer that pour that didn’t disappoint. Love ESBs and this is a good example. Not alot of head, nice brown color.
