Lovely, creamy, tasty head and the beer is great too! Don't know what others are comparing it to or whether they've had other ESB's. This is a top notch beer. About to order my third pint of it momentarily ...

(had a pint early one morning after doing their sampler flight)
A: light, golden amber liquid, nice creme-colored head that laces in drapes
S: not much to it.... a bit of character from the malt - something about it stood out from the rest of their clean, inoffensive beers....mellow toasty cookie, light-med esters, very lite hop
T: much like the aroma, along with fresh bread, cookie/wafer, some caramel.... grassy hops in balance... some residual dry bitterness finishing it off
M: a little pull in the finish, but on the lighter side in body... neither smooth nor sharp, just clean.... could've had some more roundness
O: best of the ales i had there?... still tastes like it's from a brewpub... stood out as having hints of depth and complexity whereas their other offerings were nice, but all had an unmemorable homogenous clarity on the palate
