| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 12, 2004 Not too exciting, but still a decent all around beer. Was a bit thin and watery, with milder hops than I expected. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 4, 2004 Rather bland and thin, lacking much in the way of malt or hops character; Malt is lightly sweet and light, fading into oblivion in the finish; Hops is only mildly bitter and would be lost if the malt had any gumption; Off-white head has average retention and minimal lacing; Amber color and crystal clear cornhusker01 (76), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 3, 2004 It's reminds me of McEwan's Scotch Ale, only a little weaker (ABV) and thinner. It had a chocolate and caramel quality to it. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2004 This is a good looking beer if not one with a stand alone taste. Rather thin, could use either more hops or malt or both in order to go in some direction. Young's makes to many overlapping session type beers. Not bad, but nothing exceptional.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 14, 2004 A bit of a strange bitter. Darker than any I've had to date. HAs a nice lasting head, great lacing. Flavor is again darker than average bitter. A bit of fruit, a dark roated flavor, good bitterness, and a light grassy aftertaste. I'd rather have a Schlafky ESB... heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 4, 2004 Reddish brown with a little head. It does taste like an ESB. A little malt and some nice caramel with a little citrus sourness. Nice full body. Try their Double Chocolate Stout!! ruffian (149), montvale, New Jersey, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 4, 2004 Inviting appearance, clean looking reddish copper. Mild maltiness, detect some bitterness in flavor. However just not very exciting.
