A good beer with a nice copper body. Some nice malt and barley accents in the aroma. Taste is somewhat malty, some nice hop bitterness comes through though. Ending is minimal, a good session beer.

Aug 15, 2008 500ml bottle-conditioned. Piney and vinous nose with a hint of pepper. Small tight head. Malty and smooth on the tongue wih an alcohol prickle, building quickly to a full-bodied malty and spicey taste. The aftertaste is bitter-sweet with peppery hops.

Aug 10, 2008 Pours a hazy amber, aroma of muted malts and dusty hops.
palate is spicy hop heavy with a robust malt backbone, bitter and slightly agricultural finish, very pleasant.

Aug 9, 2008 Decent special bitter. A little too much residual sweetness for my liking. Not hoppy enough to balance out the sweet edge either. The hop nose was there, but it didn’t carry through to the mouth. An enjoyable pint nontheless, but not, in my opinion in the Fullers ESB class.
