Sep 29, 2007 Updated: Mar 8, 2008Rerate: Cloudy copper-amber with a wonderful frothy almost cartoon quality head. Plenty of hops in the aroma with a dash of grapefruit and sherbet. It has a peppery hoppy initial flavour with a bitter short finish. Hints of lemon and grapefruit in there too. Delicious, a real joy to be able to get locally (for now!)

Sep 27, 2007 Fantastic american bitter. Dry without being overwhelmingly so, and very well balanced with an ample mouth feel. Perhaps a bit of citrus as would be expected with the hops. Great ESB.

Sep 27, 2007 I have had good bottles and bad bottles. The good ones are floral, dry and bitter. Overall they were nice. The bad ones though have tasted like the end of a bad drunken night. Pure bile like flavor. Two bad bottles out of 10 or so over the years.

Sep 17, 2007 From bottle. Faint floral aroma. Amber/copper in colour with a decent white head. Floral flavour, scents, spice. Bitter sweet crisp beer. Could drink this regularly.

Sep 11, 2007 it has a hazy amber copper color with a small white head. a pretty strong aroma of maple malt and floral grapefruit. medium thick body and a pleasant, lively carbonation. very hoppy taste with plenty of grapefruit, flowers, and a slight spiciness to it. the bitterness is pretty good, but they are slightly under the hops, and there is a honey malt flavor way in the background. not so sure about this one...delicious...but i think the hops are somewhat overpowering and crystal might not have been a good choice for an ESB

Sep 11, 2007 Bottle.12oz. Pours a hazy orangy amber with thin white head. Malty nose with some hoppiness and vomit aromas. At this point I’m beginning to wonder if I got a bad bottle. A little grapefruit and citrus smells come in upon further inspection. Flavor is lightly acidic with notes of sweet honey coming through. Floral and spicy hops dance around on the tongue as well. Finish is dry and moderately bitter. Still leaving a feeling of fresh vomit in the back of my throat, this thing is laced with stomach acid or something. I like bitterness probably more than the next guy and I sure as hell enjoy hops and I thought for sure I’d like this beer. I’m not sure what the hell is going on with this beer but it has things in it that suck.
