Sep 28, 2006 From a 12 oz. twist cap brown bottle with a freshness date along the left side of label.
Poured a hazy amber with a foamy, slightly fluffy off-white head that settled into a thin lacing, ringed sticking.
Aromas of sweet earthy malts a little butteriness, an airy fruitiness, and a soft citric hoppiness.
Moderate carbonation and a crisp, smooth light-medium bodied mouthfeel.
Pleasant tasting, toasted grain and caramel malts, a nice fruity yeastiness, a soft lemony, citric hoppiness and a dry grainy, earthy and fruity finish.
A nice ESB from Shipyard, easy drinkability, nicely quaffable.

Sep 23, 2006 Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours amber-orange with an average size lasting off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt is a little sugary sweet along and with some corn, grain and some mild hops. Mild, somewhat sweet flavour of caramel malt, fruit and a decent bitter finish. Medium bodied. I found this a little sweet for the style but it was still decent.

Sep 20, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Hogtown Harry. Decent light orange, small white head. Malty sweet nose, hints of caramel and fruit - grainy/earthy hops too. Decent taste - light body yet very sweet malt, caramel, and some nice sweet earthy hops to round this off. Nice short fruity linger. A nice ESB simple and drinkable. Beer number 1 of Man U Celtic (great performance Hoops, you did your fans proud).

Sep 11, 2006 Updated: Oct 3, 2006Mawkish. Too malty with an odd mineral acidity. Butterscotch or some sort of sweetness and some soft of leaf. This style always seems bland and ashy. Very surprised by how high this group rating is.

Sep 11, 2006 this beer is bad. Plain and simple. It smells like a bud but pours with a nicecopper hue. taste is weak as well as the palate. I will never buy this again. Ringwood - please don’t cross the pond anymore.

Sep 9, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Deep, oily-looking amber with an average off-white diminishing head. Caramel sweet malt, very candyish, some herbal hops to bitter it down. Taste is nutty, oily, sweet malt, enough herbal hops to tone it down - very pleasant. Thick, oily, rich mouthfeel, light carbonation, sweet finish - I quite enjoyed this one.
