Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Apr 4, 2008 Amber with a low head. Sweet aroma of fruits and nuts. The flavours are truly amazing, beginning from a malty caramel and toffee base, going into a fruity bitter ending. A perfect ESB. 17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 4, 2008 Pours a clear reddish amber no bubbles and a medium sudsy off-white head. Great fruity, malty aroma. Wow a bitter that is actually bitter. Sweet toasty malts and lots of low-end bitterness, a little bit of pepper. Thin, very slightly sticky, and soft to almost no carbonation. Really smooth beer.. almost too smooth. hoplover406 (204), Crofton, Maryland, USA Apr 3, 2008 Bottle. Excellent beer! Well made and delicious! Pours a beautiful, clear copper with a thick off white head. Toffee and caramel malt aroma is intense. Taste is much the same. Very malty in such a good way. This is my new ’go to’ beer. masto (77), Helsinki, Finland Apr 2, 2008 Updated: Sep 19, 2008Crystal clear orange with vv foamy head (huge air pockets in it). Liquorice burned malt aroma. The flavor is caramel malt with very smooth hops, hints of rye, berries and liquorice. Smooth, oily, medium-bodied with soft carbonation. Oily, dry bittersweet hop and nut finish. Complex, balanced and drinkable. RedSox2004 (353), Pacific Palisades, California, USA Apr 1, 2008 22 oz. bottle poured a copper/orange color with a generous head that slowly receded to a full layer. Malts were strongly evident on the nose, also some caramel and a bit of orange. Taste also was dominated by the malts, but there were many other flavors - caramel, sweet fruits (cherry), toffee. All of which was followed up with the hops bitterness that I expected. Very smooth, nicely carbonated - I drank this warm, and I think that’s the way to go with this one to get all the aromas and flavors this has to offer. jrob21 (1250), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Mar 31, 2008 Bottle courtesy of the glenwood around the corner. Nice sesionable beer that pours a clear copper color. Some bitter hop flavors, caramel, and malt. Candi sugar sweetness. All a little faint but for a session beer you don’t want it overwhelming in any one aspect. rman18 (200), South Amboy, New Jersey, USA Mar 29, 2008 Wow... Lovely! Best aroma that a beer can have, very hoppy smell. The taste is bitter with a smooth palate. Overall I can drink this beer daily. I loved it! One of my favorites. sneagrams3 (1704), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Mar 28, 2008 Tasted 3/7/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a copper hue. Spotty off-white head. Citrus fruity aromas. Touch bready. Medium bodied and bitter. Dry finish. Good amount of hops. Slight raspberry swwet/tart flavor. Touch rye bitterness. Slight cookie malt flavor. Smooth and really tasty. Slight effervescence. Lingering dryness. Totally solid example of an ESB and great drinking.
