May 9, 2009 This amber pours with a slight chill haze and features a modest head with a mild lace that slides down the glass side. The aroma is predominantly caramel with a touch of hop. I also detect an unpleasant metallic smell.
The caramel aromas translate into caramel flavors that last into the aftertaste. This has a very light hop for the style. The carbonation is moderate to high and the body is thinner than the coloring would suggest.
Much more malty than most ESB’s, and certainly more watery. I wouldn’t recommend it past a curiousty tasting.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy rust color with a skim of a light-tan head. Subtle aroma that features some caramel, honey, spiciness, and hints of grain. Thin to medium-bodied. Starts off with some sweet caramel maltiness and is followed by a strangely creamy middle with some honey flavors that took some getting used to. Finishes with a light biscuitiness.

Apr 27, 2009 Bière mauvaise qui se boit difficiellement. N’a pas grand chose d’une ESB, si ce n’est un léger goût de caramel. Il y avait également des petites graines en dépot au fond de la bière.

Apr 12, 2009 [Draft @ Maloney’s] Poured a deep amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, some citrus, floral hops, grains, and toast. Taste of caramel malts, some brown sugar, vanilla, citrusy hops, and a lightly bitter finish.

Feb 28, 2009 Poured from bottle. Malt and butter in the aroma. Nice lookin golden color with thin head. Burnt malt flavor, hops in back. Watery feel. OK, but there are better ESBs out there.
