"...This is what Milds should taste like, with a lovely subtile sweetness and a hint of coffee and the apperance is a darkish brown and a coffee like smell. I have to say this is one of the best Milds..."

Smells and looks like Honker's Ale, but once it hits the palate the differences stand out like a brewer without a beard. 25th Anniversary has an interesting citrus note that we have never experienced in an ESB before, as well as a touch of sweetness. Overall, it is much more hoppy and bitter than Honker's, as well as just about any other so called ESB that has ever hit our lips.

"..malt-forward with significant sweetness - though not cloyingly so - with some balancing bitterness and notes of fruit, spice, butterscotch, and booze. mouthfeel is on the full size.."

...Taste is reminicient of a mild Newcastle Brown...the sweet carmel matls are there in lesser quantity...The ale finshes with a crisp hop finish..."

A great interpretation of a British ESB. This beer has a beautiful amber hue and looks plain yummy in a glass! This is a very flavorful ale, the ringwood yeast does wonders for this beer!

"Hazy golden color with a white frothy head.... Dryish aroma of grapefruit and lemon, with undertones of hay....Hoppy, with flavors of grapefruit and wet grass....Refreshing aftertaste of lemon peels and grapefruit....Quite outstanding...."

"....Pours a ruby brown color with a rocky, dense, white head....Nose is chocolate, brown bread, and hazelnut....Powerful flavors of roasted malts, caramel, and nuts.... A distinct hoppy and roasty bitterness in the finish....An excellent beer...."

"....Color is a dark, amber hue with a thin white head....good carbonation....Fruity aromas from the Goldings/Fuggles hops....Juicy, bittersweet malts balanced elegantly with leafy, bitter hoppiness....Very light and soft on the palate...."

"..Nice malt falvors and very light in the hop department. The bitter atributes appear to be due to the spices..Very easy to drink..Good Christmas beer.."

"A crisp, hoppy, refreshing fall seasonal from Goose Island to be enjoyed during Indian Summer or the cooler beginning of Fall."
