Jan 11, 2005 Bottle. Pours a beautiful amber red color with a medium to thick head that laces well and stays good and lumpy. Nose of sweet malt and Saturday morning sweet cereal. Not much hop aroma here, which is comon for the true style I believe. Oh, this is pretty good tasting stuff. Nice light hoppy floral flavor that wraps around the tongue and hangs on for dear life... I really like the first quaff, lets see what the second brings... the malt balances well and sticks to the tongue as the bitter character of the beer holds the finish solid and long. I like this one, especially because it has some good body and carbonation, which some of the ESB’s lack. Another solid brew from Stoudts.

Dec 22, 2004 Poured a reddish copper color with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, and a little metalic. Flavor is mildly fruity with a hint of hop in the background and light bitter finish. Fairly smooth and clean.

Dec 21, 2004 Kind of weak in my opinion...highly effervescent...but too much so. Also, i felt the hops were quite lacking.

Dec 7, 2004 Bottle via DocLock: Reddish amber hue with fading small head and some lace. The aroma has notes of sweet and biscuity malts, aromatic and bitter hops, chalky and dusty esters, slight apple nose. The taste starts with a smooth bitter note with an balance of malt. Detected some fruit and bready undertones as well. Finish has that "hard water" quality to it with a weaker bitter profile than expected. The feel is too watery for my taste but does provide the basic elements of an ESB. A quaffable brew with needs more depth of palate to compete with the best of the genre.

Nov 10, 2004 This lady has a deep amber color and a delicate aroma. A slightly sweet malt taste with a fresh hop kick. A more than adequate ESB.

Oct 27, 2004 Clear amber, fizzy off-white head. Nose holds notes of florals, caramel, biscuit, with a slight hint of nut and earth. Crisp fruity hops balance nicely with the sweet malt. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, dry fruity finish. An decent session ale in my book....

Oct 12, 2004 Brown/amber color with offwhite head. Aroma is a little citrusy and malty. Smooth taste, not as much flavor as i expected, with some bitterness at the end. Not fabulous, but not bad either.
