Skeegle (476), Maryland, USA May 17, 2007 Not a fan of this beer. It smells like apple cider, so much so that when I asked my girlfriend what she thought I had in my glass she said apple cider after smelling it hitherto tasting it, to when she thought it was carbonated, fermented apple juice. Not a good ESB, but perhaps a good fruit beer, if you are a fan of the style ;). RooftopRogue (423), Champaign, Illinois, USA Dec 10, 2005 Only a slight hop aroma is detectable. A dark amber color settles under a placid head that has only a trace of lacing to its credit. Very little taste besides a hint of hops. guzzler67 (1272), Hanover, Maryland, USA Aug 14, 2004 Dark red appearance with virtually no head. Malty, fruity, earthy aroma with a suggestion of cherries. Taste was thin and a bit astringent. Well carbonated, medium-bodied mouthfeel with a dry, slightly bitter finish. morty99 (371), Maryland, USA Sep 15, 2002 SETANTA (581), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2002 Butterscotch and Kent Golding? nose, high amount of sweet unfermentables, finishes smooth and a bit towards the malty side Indra (2018), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jun 27, 2001 Iced tea-like consistency. Buttery malty flavors mingling with some very British/Welsh tasting hops. Interesting. Medium-bodied. Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Nov 19, 2000 Typically robust Welsh ale - compares better with English winter ales than with bitters or pales.
