Pours a dark reddish golden color with a thick off white head that leaves lots of sticky lacing on the side of my glass. Aroma is bitter hops, spices, malt, caramel and nuts. Flavor is caramel, spices, nuts, a little hop bitterness, sweet malts, brown sugar, grass. Not too shabby. Doon (90), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2009 Was planning on a float trip (didn’t go) so I thought I’d try this canned esb. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised! I did not pour it, so I can’t comment on the color/clarity/head. I will say it did not foam up upon opening...It’s got a crisp light flavor...almost not quite ale-like. The flavor is not intense and the aroma is difficult to ascertain sticking my nose into the mouth of the can. It seems to be a pretty nice session beer for these hot phoenix afternoons outdoors! ratman197 (3266), Arvada, Colorado, USA

Aromas of carmel, earthiness and light fruittiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of carmel, light earthiness and light fruittiness with a smooth malty finish. Would be a great session beer on a hot day. jbye4334 (719), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 17, 2009 With Buster Bloodvessel’s singing about Sally Brown in my head I look forward to this beer drinking experience. Pour is a nice amber with little carbonation and almost no head. Aroma is a nice hop and caramel combo. Flavor is also hop dominated but with some nice caramel and brown sugar. Some nice fruit, as well. There is a nice hop bitterness. Like Bad Manners, this is one that I could spend some time enjoying. I think the fat no more Buster would enjoy this. "Lip up Fatty."

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 2, 2009 Can. Opened with no rush of carbonation, making for what looked and sounded like a dud of a can.
Hazy amber color with a thick, lasting, off-white head.
Mild bread aroma, faint grassy notes.
Medium grassy taste with some caramel.
Quite sessionable.
