Apr 18, 2008 Dry and malty, with sweet undercurrents. Musty sawdust-like aroma with dense caramel maltiness. Smooth mouthfeel. Overall similar to a brown ale, but characteristically woody with some hop spice like a proper ESB.

Dec 31, 2005 On draft at Rock Bottom La Jolla in October. Notes. Deep amber color with a lingering white head. Subtle hops, nothing that would knock you over. Some malt notes as well. A very easy drink. Hops and some bitter malt. Creamy, and smooth. A very pleasant beer.

Oct 31, 2004 Draft. Great amber color. Medium body. Very drinkable, with moderate hops and not overpowering malt. Slightly different taste than I expected. Travels well in jug.

Mar 6, 2004 (Draft: Rock Bottom in La Jolla, CA) Competent, though unexciting English pale ale with a mild maltiness, balanced nicely by a moderately bitter hoppiness; The maltiness falls off in the finish so the steady hops is able to exert itself a bit more; Smooth mouthfeel begins to show the creaminess of the style; The faint nose is lightly malty with a touch of hops; The color is copper-amber; Off white head drops quickly but retains the thin layer of head quite well and leaves solid lacing
