Oct 28, 2002 Beer poured from the bottle with a small head and was a very dark copper color. It did have a slightly smokey nose. Had a slight malty/wine taste with a slightly hoppy finish. Not your usual ESB, but it was good none the less.

Oct 21, 2002 Let me first say, I had this sitting at cellar temp, maybe slightly warmer, popped the cap and I had a friggin explosion 65-70% of the beer was lost. Inexcusable. For the beer, Cloudy, copper/orange. Nice head and lace. Nose of minerals, fruity yeast, malt and others. Lightish medium bodied, heady, earthy malt character, subtle hopping but noticeable, a nicely balanced and drinkable ESB, too bad I couldnt enjoy the whole bottle. Will have to give another go.

Oct 15, 2002 Massive head. Someone told me this brewery won some GABF awards this year, so I snagged some of their brews here in NYC. Taste: not really hopped at all. Odd. Not even in the aftertaste. Reminds me of the misnamed ’Welsh ESB’ (which is terrific, by the way). More malty than hoppy, and nice to drink. Perhaps a bit thin?

Jul 26, 2002 Sort of a sour (ringwood) aroma. Decent body with a good bitter/malt balance. A fairly decent ESB

Feb 2, 2002 By far this brewery’s best offering. A nice dark amber but with little head and an aroma lacking in distinct character. Descent hop bitterness but nothing in the way of strong malt body. Maybe this company is to involved in wine to really become a great brewery. I went there and they don’t even offer tours!

Dec 28, 2000 Bitters and strong ales along with the IPA’s have become a favorite. Nice nose, big finish, quite robust in its own right.
