4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Aroma was of caramel, resin pine, slight hops. Appearance was a deep copper color. Was expecting the head to be gigantic, going by the alesmith IPA. But was suprised by it being very tiny. The taste was interesting. But kind of dissapointing, in a way. I was expecting something Extra Special Bitter. But was not really bitter at all. Had a slight alcohol presence. Not very fond of that, But an exellent beer, just was expecting something else. Overall great. Definitly will be trying alesmiths other brews.

Bottle. Aroma has raisins and berries but is quite malty. Flavor is a bit bland but has toffee, raisins and berries. Not that bitter for an ESB. Mouthfeel is overly carbonated.

Pours deep brown with reddish hues and a large off white head. The nose is light pine, caramel with some nutty aromas. The taste is medium bitter with medium low sweet. Very well rounded. The texture is crisp and clean, body is light and finish is long.

Great pour: Amber, big white creamy head, very good head retention. After the first few gulps its quite clear that this beer is certainly a session beer. Quite flavoursome along with the extreme drinkability this beer is a very good session ale, but not one you drink for extreme tastes.

Bottle from 16 Tons, Eugene. Pours a dark brown amber color, good amount of head. Aroma sweet and toasty but not decadent, Malty but sharp. Body somewhat thin, finish underwhelming. A little flat for me, maybe this has suffered a bit with age, much less impressive than Alesmith’s other options.

Draft @ the brewery. Pours an amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma. Fruity malty caramel flavor with weak hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty caramel finish.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: pour is clear caramel in hue, with a frothy and slightly chunky off white head in this glass. The nose is slightly nutty, toffee, and a bit of fruit esters here. The flavor is initial light bittering hops, nuts, toffee, toast, light fruit esters here. It has a smooth light body , and reminds of their pale in terms of feeling. Yet another nice drinker here
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slightly hazy brow/ copper with a small beige that stays in a rim. Aroma is a little bit of caramel malts, toffee and toast. Flaovr is a very nice nuttiness with some herbal hop notes at the end, very balanced and robust. Medium palate, sessionable and enjoyable, just the right amount of aftertaste to leave a presence and continue drinking. If appareance could be improved it would be that much of a beer..

Bättre än fullers helt klart men har lite svårt att jubla av glädje. Om det nu är så att fullers är originalet till ESB så är den här ändå bättre. Undra om den kan vara lite gammal kanske. Fasen att kapsylen är slängd
