Rating 1082, on tap at the bottleworks Nov 2nd 07. Hazy amber with a light presence of malts and hop. Taste more gentle and mild with a hint of caramel smothered under bitter tangy hops. Very pleasant and drinkable.

Dec 27, 2009 Pours in a beautiful golden red color with average head of a good ale. Smells of sweet carmel malts with a slight tone of hoppy freshness. Very mild on the front of the tongue with great rye & maltiness that soon follows, I love rye! Not a winter beer but I very much enjoy this beer. It shouldn’t be a winter seasonal but a Schlafly staple. Superb lighter E.S.B. I think you gotta love the rye to fully enjoy this one.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle: Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head. Has a sweet aroma with hints of honey and caramel. Malty sweet flavor has hints of rye. Texture is creamy and well balanced leaving a mild bitter finish. Does not overpower with hops.

Dec 21, 2009 A clear amber pour with large, fluffy white head. The aroma is full of pine and grapefruit, with some bready malt notes. The taste is lightly sweet followed by a lightly bitter but mostly clean finish. Well balanced, but not really an ESB.

Dec 7, 2009 Draft pint at The Post in Maplewood. Pours a clear orange copper color with a small white head. Aroma of orange citrus, floral hops, caramel malts, peppery spice, and earthy notes. The first drink is all bitter hops, but this one smoothes shortly thereafter, with orange citrus becoming stronger and stronger as it warms and gets low. Also notes of caramel malts, spices (rye), earth, and wood. Medium bodied, a bit chewy, and some bite from the spices and carbonation. Dry finish. Nice ESB.

Nov 16, 2009 Thanks to JK for sharing this one. A very mild bitter aroma and body with malty character. Dark orangish body with a white head.

Aug 20, 2009 Can’t remember if I had this on tap or from a bottle... Too light in color and flavor for a winter ESB.

Medium bodied and bit dry palate with medium carbonation. Fruitiness, grass and malts in aroma. Malts, sweetness, hops, bitterness, fruitiness, grass and lightly sea water in taste. Sweetness and hops in aftertaste.

Jun 30, 2009 Draught@One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Deep golden color, off-white head. Caramel aroma. Slightly resiny flavor with some hops. Medium-full body, medium-light carbonation. It’s not a bad beer, but I think I’ll stick with Fuller’s ESB.
