Mar 28, 2008 I really liked this chica. Very toned and balanced. Not hoppy at all, but I find that in many ESBs too much hoppy isn’t necessarily a good thing, as it usually just upsets their delicate balance instead of adding bang to the gun. The word pleasant comes to mind. Not exciting or Wow!, but would I do it again? Well I don’t know.

Mar 25, 2008 1st ESB, and I’m not sure this is consistent, but it’s good. It’s obviously hoppy in aroma, with malt notes as well. It’s appearance is a reddish amber. It’s flavor is very pleasing sweet and nutty, with some malt. It’s not astringent like I’d expected. Very nice

Mar 16, 2008 Yeast dominates the aroma with light amounts of malts and even less of hops. Hazy orange color with a small tan head. Mildly sweet beginning with a nutty finish.

Mar 10, 2008 July 2007 - Beer pours a chestnut brown color with beauty head and a little lacing. No aroma at all. None. Flavor was bready malty with a touch of caramel sweetness and a slight bitterness. Not a bad ESB...but a tad boring.

Mar 6, 2008 Draft: Poured a dark amber color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was that of caramel and roasted malts. The flavor mildly bitter with a bit of hops, sweets, and malts. Very good beer to drink.

Mar 1, 2008 Dark amber, almost brown color with a thick off white head. Smells like wheatgrass. Flavor is dry, mildly bitter, mildly burnt. Well balanced and not bad overall.

Feb 19, 2008 Bottle: Ruddy amber pour with a thick beige head. Aroma is mild with bready and caramel malts. Faint floral hops. Flavor is malty and sweet. A bit earthy with some florals. The malt character gives a feel of an English Pale Ale, but not quite as flavorful. Smooth and an easy drinker.

Feb 9, 2008 I’ve had Scarlet Lady a couple times over the past month on draft. Not sure what to make of it, not overly hopped but not well blended either. Bitterness collides with caramel & earthiness to prevent this ESB from gaining greatness.
