Dec 13, 2005 12oz can acquired in a trade with FlactoAlto (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, stronger pineapple, and lightly nutty. Tastes of lighter caramel, citrus, and fruity. This one was definitely fruity sweet with a light hoppiness to it.

Oct 3, 2008 12oz can. Filtered copper orange color. Big sticky burnt corn and rough, husky caramel malt nose. Burnt, sticky caramel malt all over this thing. Astringent, sharp, syrupy. Ehh....

Nov 22, 2007 I believe this is my first ESB in a can. It pours a very pale amber body with a slight head that lingers none too long. Little of any lacing. It has a light aroma of toffee, fresh bread dough, and just a wee bit of floral hops. SKA needs to remember that a Bitter should have some bittering hops, because the flavor is practically all malt, a tired toffee and some bread dough. Just a bit of hops figure into the finish, quite dry. Drinkable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Beverage Depot, Orland Park, IL<font size=-1>

Feb 16, 2009 Light amber color with a tallish, beige, head that’s rather lasting. Very grainy in aroma. Plenty of creamed corn and a touch of caramel and some floral hops in the background. Fairly thin in feel, but not overly carbonated. Some light caramel in the front. Middle is light fruity with some peach and pralines. Some generic bitterness and acidity that does not add much in either flavor or quality. Seems a bit raw.
