Oct 10, 2005 Updated: Oct 13, 2005Bottle, amber with a thin head, aroma is sweet and fruit, likewise the flavor, with some toffee and earthy hops in the finish. Very british-like ale, good balance and quite drinkable.

Sep 21, 2005 As you can tell I love ESB. Pours a beautiful brown color but with little or no head. Aromas of caramel and just a hint of citrus. Stays with the palate with a sweet finish.

Sep 19, 2005 Okay beer. Clear light brown pour with a little head. Taste is very bitter, with toasted malt in the front. End is slightly sweeter with some metallic finish. While this was good, I am not very enthusiastic about getting it again.

Sep 19, 2005 This was a nice surprise. I was sceptical on this one but the mild roasted nut and malt flavors were pleasant and smooth. Really light sweetness in the finish.

Sep 17, 2005 Bottle. Ruddy amber with a small white head. Nose is malty and sweet with light buttery notes and relaxed fruitiness. Taste is very buttery and malty with lots of caramel sweetness, hints of toffee, yeast, dried fruits and mild toastiness. Body is medium with a moderate carbonation feel. Smooth at times though. Finishes with more caramel, buttered toasty malts, and sweet at times with light yeast and fruit. Nice beer!

Sep 16, 2005 Orange teak. Bubbly, burned citrus rind. Tan head. Diacetyl for sure. Roasted spun sugar, sweet corn, pencil shavings. Interesting. The nose is nothing to write home about. Flavors reflect all of this with an extra hop oomph that is satisfying. Refreshingly sweet. VERY easily drunk. Perhaps a little overcarbonated.
