Bottle. Good balance of malt and hop in this beer but ultimately it’s just another ESB. Competant. Dull.

tommann (2029) - Dudley, West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAY 10, 2011
500ml bottle. Pours dark orange with a medium frothy head. Aroma is watery candied orange. Taste has watery orange hop. Flat and a bit thin. There could be a good beer here somewhere.

Quack-Duck (6885) - Down South, GERMANY - APR 20, 2010
bottle, bought at the brewery, shared with Allen. Slightly hazy amber colour, tiny head. Aroma of pear and banana, which is lovely. Very light, not so say watery, body with hints of malt and a nice fruity character. A bit disappinting, having in mind the brilliant aroma.

Allen (2689) - SWITZERLAND - APR 20, 2010
Bottled 50cl. Shared with Quack-Duck. Very small head. Slightly hazy. A huge amount of apple and pear in the nose. Plenty of character. Dissapointing taste. Mediocre finish with residual sugars. Thanks a lot Quack-Duck for sharing!
