The aroma was all hops. The flavor was bitter like you would expect, but not so much so that it kills. Overall very good. ghawener (963), San Salvador, El Salvador

Finish is less aggressive, softens and goes easy on the palate. ESB or IPA? Food Pairing: An aggressive cheddar. shawnm213 (951), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Sampled this ESB at my college pub during senior year. The brew has a lovely hop aroma. The color was copper red with a light head. Flavor was rich, mildly bitter and crisp. Tasty beer with a nice alcohol content. arrogantb (707), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 23, 2009 Nice orange color and is nearly indistinguishable from SNPA or Anniv. Ale, you know how it goes. Smells a little (just a little) piney. The flavors are hoppy but also have a nice biscuity, malty flavor that really screams ESB to me. The hops kinda threw me off but maybe this is a West Coast ESB?
