Flasche 50cl. Rötlich-braunes Bier mit relativ kleiner Schaumkrone. In der Nase sofort harziger Hopfen und frisches Brioche. Wundervoll ausbalanciert, sehr schönes Spiel von Hopfigkeit und Malzigkeit.

On bottle. Pale copper/amber in colour. Aroma of fine hops, nuts and malt. Superbly well balanced, tasty and drinkable. An English Superb Bitter!
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Sturdy bottle best by October 2013. Served in pint glass at 45 degrees. Beautiful copper color with rich white head that never quite disappears. Aromas of sweet malt, toffee and caramel. Grassy, peppery bitter hop notes balanced by nice biscuity, caramel malt. Medium body with light carbonation. Lives up to the hype, a magnificent quaffable ale perfect for summertime!

On tap, poured into a pint glass.
A bit hazy copper-amber color, thick white head, beautiful appearance.
Complex aroma with hints of malt, caramel, hops and fruits.
Taste is very balanced between little sweetness in the beginning and bitter in the end. Creamy and smooth, medium-bodied, low-medium carbonation,dry finish. Great beer.

Clear copper, big cream coloured rocky head that doesnt last. Toffee, caramel and orange nose. Flavour has a lovely smooth maltiness with highlights of orange and biscuit. Mouthfeel is sublime, smooth as you like, robust, with a touch of dryness in the finish. Flat carbonation. Very nice.

11.2 oz bottle from Wilbur’s. Light amber colored and clear with a nice white head and light lacing. The aroma is bitter, clean, and hoppy with light citrus and light toasted malts. Similar flavor with toffee, caramel, grass and biscuits. Medium body with a soft feel and a smooth finish. Pretty tasty.

A - Pours a clear amber with red highlights. A foamy 1.5 finger of off-white head that provide loads of tightly knit lacing.
S - Rich caramel malt, hints of fruit.
T - Caramel malt, floral, toasted bread, some berry fruits, salty hops on the back end.
M - Medium bodied, smooth feel.
Rich and robust. This beer is packed with flavor and a very smooth drinker. One of my favorite ESB’s.

Aroma: Honey, caramel, almonds a little tropical fruit.
Appearance: Copper with moderate cream colored head.
Flavor: Toffee, nuts with a mild fruitiness.
Palate: Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation smooth dry finish.
Overall: The near perfect ESB - but always better closer to the source.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark golden color with white foam that trails on the glass. Nose is fresh with citrus fruits, herbs and malty sweetness. Taste is well balanced, starting with honey and molasses followed by a nice bitterness from the hops. Carbonation is on the light side. Overall a well balanced and enjoable brew.
