From old tasting notes. Deep orange, copper color. Thick creamy beige head. Rich fruity malt aroma. Robust bittersweet toasted malt flavor. Smooth, yet hearty. Very flavorful and nicely balanced.

Bottle. Pours amber gold with white head. Nose and taste of biscuit malt, caramel and baked bread. Slight dry toast finish with hints of hops. Lighter bodied.

Draft at the Pourhouse. Clear golden color, medium off white head. Aroma of straw and caramel. Taste is peppery and sweet hay.

12oz bottle from The Foodery, Center City, Philadelphia. Pale amber with a loose cream head; farmyard aroma; rather strange in the mouth - a sudden rush of muddy and confused malts and hops - and then it’s all gone; leaving nothing. Very odd, and disappointing.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 4/11/12
Aroma: It has some sweet malts, light fruit, candied sugar, toast, caramel, toffee, and a hint of funk
Appearance: This is kind of a gusher - pours a hazy orange color with a large foam of off-white head
Flavor: Tastes fairly sweet, much like the nose, with quite a mix of flavors, and some sour and bitterness
Palate: It's medium bodied, some stickiness, an overly fizzy carbonation, and a slight unpleasantness
Overall Impression: I don't really know what to make of this one. As I'm drinking it my mind changed on it on basically every sip, mostly because it seems to change with basically every sip. This is some decent stuff with a lot going on, but all that stuff that's going on here doesn't always work as a combination all that well. Also, there is way too much carbonation for my liking.

Barley malt nose with honey accents. Clear amber, medium head. Drinks like it smells, but with more a honey presence.Dried leaves also prominent. I wasn’t sure I smelled honey, but the palate confirms it. Pretty nicely done and is exactly what one would expect from an American amber ESB. Better than an ordinary amber.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours amber with a creamy/bubbly beige head. Aroma of burnished malt, floral, and perhaps a hint of diacetyl. Perhaps. Med body. Flavor is malt, floral hop, and something suggesting butterscotch. It is certainly more bitter than not. Nothing really wrong here, it just doesn’t make any strong statements.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Fredericksburg, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a thin tan head that disappears very quickly. Aroma of caramel, toffee, earthy hops and a faint bit of toastiness. The taste is bitter hops, green apple, citrus, apricots, caramel, a faint bit ot toastiness and wet paper. Medium bodied.

12oz bottle pours copper with weak white head. The aroma is a mix of sweet malts, floral hops and then lesser amounts of spicy and earthy hops. The taste is a somewhat odd mix of firm floral hops, malts and a mild level of caramel malts. Around the edges I get notes of spicy hops, slightly oxidized tasting earthy hops and then faint fruity esters.

couleur léger ambre, mousse est fine et disparaît rapidement. Arôme, qcq traces de malt et de houblon, sans plus. Goût, malt avec qcq touche de caramel et une fine amertume quoique en dessous du style anglais qui est accompagnée par le côté caramel. La fin reste assez faible. En final je note plus un aperçu plus houblon avec de l’amertume (finement citronnée) et le tout est fini par qcq notes de malt grillé, effervescence est présente.
