Jan 21, 2006 Murky orange-amber with minimal (slightly scuzzy-looking) white head. Aromas are sweet with a little bit of a spicy character. Not univiting, but not complex either. Rather blah taste... sweet malt dominates with a little hoppy kick, but relatively unispiring. Butterscotch mixed with caramel is a pretty good description. Definitely lacks the kick of most ESB’s.

Jan 14, 2006 on tap-pours a rich, light tan head. Copper color. Aroma malt, hops, sweet. Taste is quite mild with the hops and malt being about equally present. Less hops than the ESB category usually has, but a nice beer. Mild effervescence and medium body.

Dec 31, 2005 Draught at the Porterhouse Restaurant. Clear amber body with a filmy white head. Sweet butterscotch and caramel aroma. Diacetyl is evident. Flavor of pure butterscotch, lightly toasted malt, and weak hop character and bitterness. Slick, buttery palate.

Dec 20, 2005 12 oz bottle Pours a cloudy amberwith a good off white frothy head. Hoppy aroma with hints of carmel and cookies. Medium body tastes lightly bitter with an average finish. A decent enough brew although it vlacks some personality. But good enough to drink.

Dec 10, 2005 Bottle: Amber hued with a fading fizzy head and no lace. The aroma has notes of light grapefruit and grassy hops, bready and grainy, a hint of caramel, and earthy yeast esters. The taste was straight forward, moderate bitters on top of a light malt and husk backbone. The feel is very watery and almost no depth. Expected more, got less.

Nov 25, 2005 Bottle. Light copper color on the pour with hardly any head. A very mild ESB. More malt than hoppy flavor. Very mild for the style but still good.

Nov 18, 2005 Nutty nose, leaves. Orange-amber color, frothy and foamy head. Light toaste body, artificial end - not hoppy, but bitter. Thin and quick. Weak, really. Not so good. Like a typical bad British ale actually.
