May 2, 2004 A beautiful and bright auburn with a dense head. The hops are not imperial but balanced very nicely with the malt, which is imperial, smooth and sweet. The malt backbone to this struck me as very similar to Rogue’s Imperial Pilsner. Both wonderfully hoppy beers with deliciously juicy malt backgrounds. This is what a bitter should be and I savored the whole bomber. I had this a while back on tap at the Blindtiger in NYC and remember it being just as wonderful.

Apr 10, 2003 This one never ceases to amaze. Hopp Hopp Hoppy and delicisous. Long finish that doesn't have that lingering sour that some bitters have. Clean and delicious. I'd love to have this one on tap.

Oct 27, 2004 Pours orange and hazywith an off white big lacey head. Grassy citric hop aroma. Brown sugar, strawberry. Lots of grapefruit. Late tangerine. Very dry somewhat chalky. Really tastey bitter.

Jul 9, 2005 This one pours a very hazy orange-amber with a fine and bubbly white head. The mouthfeel is very thick and fulfilling. The nose is strong of leaves and Azalea flowers but with a citrus tinge. The taste is slightly sour and bready upfront with a strong grapefruit tartness following. The middle is a bit hollow, as I can’t really find anything else until the end. The end is a malty sweetness with lingering hints of citrus. The dryness is very strong in the finish.

Apr 7, 2004 An excellent selection. I was looking around in a six pack shop and spotted this. Orange copperish in color, resembling honey. Nice rich head and a nice bite to it. A grapefruity hoppy taste. Glad I got this one. Very refreshing for a breezy sunny afternoon.

May 1, 2006 Wow! A great bitter, perhaps one of the better ones I have had! Pours gold with a large head, lots of bubbles swirl through the body, very decent looking. The bitterness in the flavor is extremely well balanced and extremely tasty. nice finish, with great aftertaste, one amazing bitter!

Jun 26, 2004 This is what I think of when I hear ESB. Others seem to lack in the bitter department of the name. This had it all. Nice orange color. White head. Hops are abundant throughout with the malt to shoulder them. Kudos.

Sep 10, 2005 sweet cirtus nose, intense bitter mouth with sour orange/grapefruit overtones. Bubbly head with very nice lacing. This is a great beer. I wish I knew the enthaol content and as an earlier poster mentioned, the production or shelf date.
