3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft to taster. Looks solid; a transparent gold with foamy (almost creamy) head that dissipates into lacing. Smells and tastes bittersweet with notes of dough and hops. Average on the palate. Meh; kind of bland for my liking.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours an average creamy head that mostly diminishes. Body is clear amber, sparkles are visible. Aroma contains light bread, hay, roasted malts, molasses, citrus fruits, banana, grape, raisin, plum, toffee and spices. Flavor is light acidic going to sweet and bitter with a malty finish. Body is medium, texture oily and carbonation soft. It tastes allright in the beginning, the malty finish is not my thing.

Lite rödaktig med minimalt skum. Hade inga höga förväntningar och kanske hade jag dömt ut ölen på förhand, men den var inte bra.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
From tap. Smell of soap. Golden colour, cream-coloured and creamy head. Aroma of alcohol, soap. Stinging sour-ish taste. Palate follows nastiness of taste. Big disappointment.

Great beer and can find it in many stores in London by the bottle and some pubs on tap. In Canada LCBO sometimes sells it, in Oakville can get it on tap locally at Niblick pub!

UPDATED: APR 19, 2013 Draft at Fado in Philly. Medium dark clear orange pour with a large pillowy head that took a while to settle. Nice aroma. Clean malt backing some solid hop notes. Good juicy body. No rough edges. Almost too perfected. Great ESB.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This is a really great balance of malty flavors and bitter notes. Nice copper hue with small white head. Just a solid, well-balanced beer.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
0,5L bottle. Soft fruity aroma, rather orange. Good and enjoyable bitter grapefruit and very little malt, hop, yeast mixed. Such a nice fruit and bitter harsh melts on mouth. Fresh finish with bitter lasting taste. Good stuff.
