| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Gamboge orange with creamy white lasting head, fruity malty smell, earthy grass taste, hints of spice, some bitter aftertaste but a light in texture as in good quality water straight from the Earth used to brew. Bits of malt and ice and drinkable. groovinhigh (170), Asheville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 28, 2009 Nice crisp, spring ale... don’t let the ESB fool you as it’s not a typical ESB. In terms of taste, more of a cross between a pale ale and a true ESB. Tasty, but nothing extraordinary... Ingevara (526), Hindås, Sweden
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 28, 2009 A new interpretation of ESB, but not a bad one. It’s a beer with a powerful sturdy flavor and long lasting aroma, spiced with generous amounts of hops. A steady bitterness balanced with just enough sugar and enlightened by a tempting browninsh color makes it beer enjoyable for the whole year, not just spring. Soonah (935), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Poured clear copper with a white to off-white head. Lacing here and there. The aroma was malty with light notes of citrus hops and some hints at floral and earth. The flavor is light floral and sweet malts with plenty of citrus hops on the backside. Thin and watery but refreshing and drinkable. Rciesla (3645), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Bottle, not so clever name. Pours an amber body with a 2 finger tan head. Floral with an earth y, tree bark, and grass y aroma with some bitter earth tones and a hint of pine. Okay. thechandler (270), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 24, 2009 Just what I expected. Good. A little bitter. A little hoppy. Smooth though. Nice. I approve. PMgep (71), Lund, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 24, 2009 [330 ml bottle] Fresh, hoppy aroma with a hint of grass. Taste of hops, a bit of citrus and a tiny bit of sweetness. radagast83 (1302), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a darker amber color with a white head. Aroma is citrus, hops, and a touch of malts. Flavor is pretty hoppy for a ESB, but rating the beer as opposed to rating against the style - it’s good.
