MJGG (400), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 12, 2008 Bouteille de 500 ml. Arômes très invitants de malt caramélisé et de houblon floral. Robe cuivrée, peu effervescente. Il s’agit d’une bière très maltée, qui déborde de caramel. Le houblon est juste assez présent pour équilibrer le côté sucré et créer une bière bien équilibrée et qui se boit bien. changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 11, 2008 Updated: Aug 10, 2008At first I wasn’t overly impressed, but as I worked my way through the pint bottle I had I began to enjoy it more and more. Amber colored with a medium foamy head, but it lasts throughout the entire beer and forms a nice amount of lace. Somewhat malty aroma, and a little fruity. Malty flavor with crisp hoppy bitterness. Pretty well balanced and good. Acknud (770), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Apr 11, 2008 Pours amber with a medium head. Aroma is malty with some citrus notes. Taste brings on malt with some hop bitterness. Finishes dry. Holtguy (25), Michigan, USA Apr 11, 2008 Dark amber in color. Fruity flavor, orange I think, with soft malt notes. Very full bodied. It’s a little bit bitter, with some notes of citrus near the end. There are more flavors here than I can describe. A great and complex beer. liinis (695), Helsinki, Finland Apr 11, 2008 Orange copper with medium head.
Lovely crisp bitterness with citrus, but quite flat in mouth. delicious hops in aroma.
travita (1861), Frisco, Texas, USA Apr 8, 2008 Copper in color with a good head. Fruits and hops in the aromas. Taste is light and crisp, slightly bitter that goes down easy. Some fruits as well. Still left me wanting something different. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway Apr 7, 2008 bottle- pours amber, golden brown with a light grayish beige head. smells hoppy orange biscuits and caramel. mouthfeel is flat, lacking carbonation, but that matches the taste quite well. orangel peel and caramel long clean lemony finish. ElGaucho56 (386), USA Apr 6, 2008 Pours a lovely clear bronze with small but persistent eggshell white cap and nice beading. Nose has a zesty citrus character with malty bready undertones. Pretty full on the palate, with a decent roasted character for such a drinkable beer, with rich light honeyed malts balanced wonderfully by slightly peppery, grassy hops in a long smooth finish. About all you could ask for in an ESB.
