Jan 5, 2008 Nice for an English ale. There is a slight bittery hop flavor that is well-balanced by the malts. Not too heavy - pleasantly drinkable.

Jan 4, 2008 Can’t smell much in this brew from the bottle. Just slightly darker than a typical american pale lager, a little more brownish like light iced tea. Barely any carbonation. Taste is laid back and easy to enjoy. Quite nice for a pale ale but now I see it is actually an ESB on this site. Not too much bitter personality tho it does possess a hint. Almost as well behaved as a lager and more so than a pilsner. Overall, not bad. An ’ale’ I can accept. As an ESB, it’s one of the better ones I’ve tasted.

Dec 29, 2007 Bottled. Have never gotten around to rating this and was pleasantly surprised because I had forgotten what it tastes like. Anyway it is a coppery colored with some malts, very light and very drinkable, am torn between the lack of hops and bitterness being bad or pleasant.

Dec 28, 2007 Aroma is a metallic hop scent. Color is a clear amber with good carbonation and a some what loose head that stays low. Taste is light and crisp. Starting with a light body it goes down crisp with a mild malt flavor that has just a faint sweet caramel taste to it. Finish rolls in with a nice bitterness and a very faint hop flavor, then leaves you with a slight metallic aftertaste. Overall it very drinkable but not very hoppy.

Dec 27, 2007 Very frothy on the pour. Mild wood untertones in the aroma. The beer is dark copper with a tan head. Its a little runny, but has a good full flavor of barley malt.

Dec 23, 2007 Copper. Citrus, caramel malts, and slight herbal notes. Citrus and fruity hops, caramel malts, some sweetness, and biscuits. Nice soft ESB, could easily session this.
