Jun 28, 2008 Pours reddish brown with an off-white head. It has a light aroma of sweet malt. I think the flavor is a nice balance of malt and hops for an interesting taste. It is smooth and not too much carbonation like some ESB’s can have. A clean finish with that nice hint of bitterness.
A nice beer.

Jun 15, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine Broad St. Richmond, VA. Brownish red with a small head. Very malty aroma w/ brown sugar, molasses. Smooth, malty taste with molasses and very subtle bitterness. Taste is a little disappointing considering the aroma, but still pleasant.

Jun 13, 2008 Smells and looks good, and the flavor is a reasonable facsimile of Fuller’s ESB. There’s something missing, however. It lacks the depth and balance of Fuller’s. It also lacks a little sweetness, caramel or toffee or butterscotch, that would really round out the brew. Still, it’s a pretty good beer.

Jun 12, 2008 Nice ruby color. Chewy chocolate fig malts, with nice deep sugared fruit aromas. Rounded flavors, musty marzen-like with lightly spiced vanilla. Bitterness is there for balance but not what I think of for the style. Not what i was expecting for some reason but not bad.

Jun 3, 2008 nice brownish amber with solid white head. flavor o some crystal malt but not prominent enough to balance the hop bitterness. a version of the style that fits the specifications, however not above an average example

May 30, 2008 12 oz bottle...pours a reddish brown w/ a foamy off-white head which leaves some frothy lacing behind...Very weak nose...floral hops, malt. The flavors are a combo of malts, toffee, toasted nuts, and bitter hops. The palate is somewhat runny/watery, w/ mild carbonation and a lasting bitter finish. I like this ESB because it is equally good for summer as well as winter drinking...
