Apr 2, 2006 Clear bronze appearance with a fairly large white head. Aroma was caramel malts with a soft, earthy quality. Smooth, medium-bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Fruity, slightly sweet taste dominated by the malts, with only modest bitterness, even through to the finish.

Following a Fuller’s ESB, this brew stumbles badly. Cidery appearance, little to no head. High marks for the very pleasant fruity/malt aroma, but demerits for too little of it reaching the taste buds. Quite watery & a bit flat-tasting overall. I wouldn’t seek this out.

Mar 31, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry courtesy of Thaichile. Pours a clear bubbly deep amber with a quickly diminishing off-white head. Aroma of funky hops with some toasty caramel malt and fruit. The flavour pretty much follows the nose: toasty caramel malt, a bit of fruit and a nice English hop bitterness -- though it’s not as hoppy as the aroma suggests. Medium bodied. A simple ESB but pleasant and very nice to drink.

Mar 30, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, his bottle via trade with Thaichile. Clear bright deep amber with a decent off-white rocky head. Dry aroma of floral hops, mild toasted malt, a little grassy. Flavour of light malt, mild UK hops, some tart fruit and yeast - it has an overtone of tea which makes the quick finish lightly bitter after a sweetish start. Mouthfeel is lightly tea leaf bitter, mildly astringent and juicy, some carbonation - very quaffable and mild, not quite up to "real" English ESB standards, but drinkable and a good effort.

Mar 30, 2006 Updated: Apr 18, 2006Like most beer I drink, I poured this one VERY cold which I found was a mistake.
Drink this one at least 50°F or above.
Great amber/red/brown color...little head, fair lacing.
Quick bitterness, coffee flavors, crisp and dry.

Mar 24, 2006 Floral nose with a hint of fruit and spice. As the nose matures with warmth, heavy vanilla
and caramel tones reveal themselves. The brew pours a clear medium ruby with amber
highlights. The light frothy off white head is quickly diminishing , and leaves fair lace.
The brew has great balance with decent depth that culminates into a meaningful finish.
The medium body is very lively and dry. This would make a great session offering.
