CASK: also had this on cask - tasted pretty dull and flat this way, not sure this is the best way to try this particular beer. MrBunn (1554), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Can with thanks to skyview. Pours a medium amber with a small/medium head. Aromas are a mix of blue spruce and citrus. Flavor is heavy with hops... and they basically match the nose. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but this is good stuff.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Can. Slightly hazy orange pour, medium carbonation with an ashy orange aroma. Flavor is peach, citrus and hops and finished nice and bitter on the aftertaste. A decent brew, I just don’t think this is my favorite style. anders37 (4792), Malmö, Sweden

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2009 Pours a nice hazy orange/amber color. Aroma is full of citrus(grapefruit) caramel malt and some grassy notes. Flavor is both hoppy and full of malt. This is the way an ESB should taste IMO. Damn this is a smooth easy drinker. sirpsycho (352), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Feb 5, 2009 Can. Pours a cloudy amber, nice off-white head, lacing is beautiful. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus and malt hiding in the background. Flavor is a very nice slightly sweet malt and a nice palate of grapefruit, maybe a touch of orange and peach. Thin, but very nice session beer. kyzr (1127), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Can thanks to Skyview. Pours dark gold with smaller white head. Earthy hoppy nose. Flavor is big up front with bitter hops that goes a little watery before a toasted hoppy finish. jkwalking05 (1485), Arlington, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Light amber in color with a small white head. Aroma is like sticking your nose in a bag of fresh hops with some notes of grass and fruit. Taste is like water with hops in it with a slightly fruity finish.
