Aug 1, 2008 Thanks to a couple of BA’s for this one
Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a good finger worth of whit fluffy head. The body of this beer was amber to dark copper in color
Typical Biscuit yeast and light hops on the nose of this brew
Light piney hop bite with smooth malts sweetness hit my taste buds. Medium mouthfeel good carbonation on your tongue
Great drinking brew glad I had it would love to try it with fish and chips for the full effect. Thanks again Guys

Jul 12, 2008 12 oz bottle from Capones. Pours a clear red with an average to slightly above average size bubbly off white head. Aroma of very sweet malt, toffee and bread. Medium body that is an easy sipper. Flavor has a slight syrupy sweetness undertone with a concentration on the malts that is finished with some nice floral hops. Sort of reminds me of a Bit O’ Honey candy bar from back in the day, well if it was made into a muffin. Good stuff.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Dr. Jay. Pours a golden yellow with a bit of white head, and leaving a bit of white lace. Mild English hops in aroma. Very smooth drinking, sessionable, and leaving a bit dry palate. A very good ESB. My be aye 3k.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a mostly translucent deep copper with golden highlights and a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that left spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee, nuts, orange, other citrus, floral and lightly bready. Flavor of lightly toasted malt, caramel, toffee, hard pretzels, some nuts, pine, light grapefruit, hop flavor, some hop bitterness but balanced nicely by the lightly sweet and toasty malt profile. One of the best, if not the best ESBs I have had. Sessionable, yet packed with flavors and aroma.

Jun 20, 2008 Pours out a nice light copper color with a small white head. Aroma of some caramel and some hop bitterness. Taste is very well balanced, caramel, some bitter grassy hops and a doughy/dry finish. Usually don’t care for ESB’s too much but this was pretty decent

Jun 19, 2008 A nice easy drinking ESB. Aroma was so so. Caramel malt and some slight grassy hops. Pour was very nice. Dark gold with a 2 finger off white head. Taste was a little thin and watery. Caramel throughout and with a hint of grassy hops in the aftertaste. Strong carbonation but not much aftertaste. A little watery. Nice beer though.
