This authentic English-style ale is brewed from the finest imported Marris Otter malt for a rich, reddish-copper color and full, malty palate. the generous use of English hops balances the regal, sweet maltiness and imparts a softly perfumed aroma.

    Clear copper color with medium tan head. Aroma is a combo of malt and hops. A nice flavor of grain (biscuit or lightly roasted) Marris Otter malt and a fair amount of hop bitterness. Hits the ESB style quite well with some nice added body and malt flavors. Works well.

    Who’s that lady? Check out the flowers in her hair and.... if it was possible, has an attractive goat face like a female ram. Brown 12 oz bottle. Nothing about the pour is special except it is a medium brownish color, not scarlet as expected. Smells like a hint of candy apple or cotton candy. Flavor commences with a kind of hoppy or malt flavor then almost fades into a hint chocolaty smoothness. Finish is not offensive but lingers, tho not bitter, with a little hops malt roastyness. An oily texture?

    Aroma is not strong but pleasantly malty. From the bottle it pours a lovely dark brownish gold with a nice thick head. Flavor is richly malty and has a smoky undertone. Smooth and easy to drink, it has no bitterness in the flavor or aftertaste. A pleasantly drinkable ale.

    No depth or character to this ESB. Biscuits and caramel with very little hop presence. A touch of cardboard seals the deal on this boring bitter. Good looking pour. Faint aroma, flavor shows itself finally after it has warmed considerably. Not terrible, just no substance for a typically wonderful style by a good brewery.

    Pours a clear amber colour with plenty of carbonation. Aroma is mildly hoppy. Floral and citrusy. Soft caramel malt, yet full on the palate. Fruity and slightly biscuity with a decent amount of hops in the finish. Nice beer!

    Pours an amber-copper with almost no head. Aroma is faint with some biscuity caramel (perhaps I should have tried this a month ago when I got it instead). Taste starts malty sweet but finishes with an earthy bitterness. Just average for me--not one I would look for again.

    This wasn't one of my favorites from Stoudts, but I am not the biggest fans of extra bitters. The hops are the main theme going on, with of course, an extra bitter aftertaste. It is still a smooth, crisp beer....on the lighter side overall. Dark orange-light copper color. Better than average, but pretty much an across the board 7.

    The Scarlet lady has a cherry red body. And her head is weak, settling into a thin lacing. The mouthfeel is full of carbonation that tickles the senses. The aroma is a complex mixture of biscuits caramel and a fair amount of bittering/floral hops. Her taste is strong, with a nice complement of alcohol, malt and hops.

    This seems like a pretty weak ESB. Color is light brown, maybe some orange in there. Not much head or lacing. Sweet fruity aroma such as oranges or mango. This is an easy drinking beer with pretty good balance but it just seems a little bland. There's a fruity malt note with some faint bitter hops and a pretty clean finish but the whole thing just seems watered down a little. Overall it's OK but it's not a very good ESB.

    Beer pours a chestnut brown color with beauty head and a little lacing. No aroma at all. None. Flavor was bready malty with a touch of caramel sweetness and a slight bitterness. Not a bad ESB...but a tad boring.
