Apr 3, 2005 I catch a hint of fruits and malt in the aroma....very nice. Pours into glass with a tan color and small off white head. The first beer I’ve seen with such a small head.....yet bubbly as you drink. Like the balance in carbonation.
Now to the taste. Gives ya a good little shot of hops and then a small bit of fruit in the end....lemon perhaps. Mouthfeel is fairly crisp...what I would expect from this style.
Stoudt has been a small brewer since 1962, and for good reason. I have not been disappointed with one of their beers yet. Go get one of them.

Mar 27, 2005 A nice copper ale with some floral hops aroma and a slight spiciness. The taste is full and refreshing with som pepper notes.

Mar 23, 2005 03.23.05 12oz bottle dated 05.29.05 Dark copper pour with smallish head that quickly fades. Smells earthy, toffee, vanilla, tea. I smell tea a lot in beer...wonder if that has anything to do with drinking a lot of tea? Mild malts are pushed to stick with floral and sharp hops. Lightly floral all around. It’s a quaffer, but ESB is just not usually a thrill from a bottle.

Mar 23, 2005 A pleasant malty taste up front, followed by a strong bitter bite and finishes with a slightly bitter/malty flavor. Average looking, but beautiful tasting. A good ESB.

Mar 23, 2005 Poured a copper red color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus yeastiness, vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel. Sweet caramel maltiness, earthy, citrus fruitiness, and a dry, lightly bitter, hop finish.

Mar 22, 2005 Reddish amber, off white head. Floral and perfumey hop aroma, nice malt backing. Mildly malty flavor with some earthy hops in the flavor, slightly bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pleasant and pretty enjoyable.

Feb 25, 2005 On draft. Pours brown white a small white head. Malty aroma. Dry cardboard like taste. Malt is more up front than the hops making this beer not that bitter. I was kind of upset with this one, I have liked all the other Stoudts I have sampled.
