Re-Rate: Aroma of caramel,malts and citrus. Flavor is smouth mouth feeling, nice caramelly,mixed with a creamy citrus,/malty finish. Nice. bmackenzie (39), Wellington, New Zealand Aug 8, 2007 I saw her across the bar - dressed in blue and radiating. The butterflies were fluttering. I was struggling to put my nerves to one side. Tonight was my night to make a move. I sidled up beside her.
"You smell so good" I heard myself moan. What’s that scent? Apricots, orange blossom and roses? Summer flowers sprinkled with an evening shower? She smelt so sweet, like a toffee apple at the county fair.
In the dull night of the bar she radiated with a deep copper glow. Glinting. Luminescent.
Her taste was deep, sensual and sweet. Caramel, toffee, nectarine, orange marmalade and raisin danced over by tongue. It was the fullness of the embrace that sustained me. So very complex - she was subconsciously urging me on for more.
In a moment she was gone. There was no bitter end. Only a sweet memory. A one night stand that could last forever.
KM (218), Tromsø, Norway Aug 6, 2007 Bottle. Medium brown body. OK head. Heavy malty aroma. Sweet. Flavour is fruity at first, then very malty. Ends in a lasting bitterness. (Filipstad, 21.07.07) Mike4686 (120), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Aug 5, 2007 this beer poured into a glass a amber color, with no head at all, bitter hop taste, kind of like strong pale ale, it was decent. at $11 for a 6 pack i don’t think i’ll buy this one again. beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Aug 5, 2007 Bottle-Clear, deep amber color w/a moderate tan/amber head. Sweet roasted aroma. Had a lot of hops for an ESB, to much for me; kind of muddled up the beer. Did have some roasted malt/sweetness but not as much as usually associated w/this style. Reminded me more of an APA, which isn’t usually my favorite style. Not bad, but I doubt I would drink this again. Crafty07 (391), Florence, Kentucky, USA Aug 4, 2007 Poured from beautifully labeled 12 oz. bottle with a small but lasting whitish head. I see why this was among the first brews to be exported to the States. This mattly bitter is well made and stands up very well for a bottled beer. While I"m no hops fettishist like so many reviewers, I enjoy the way they have been used here and I’m impressed with the quick, dry finish. Top Notch. CitySlicker (6), Switzerland does not count Aug 4, 2007 ESB iz MEANT FOR SESSIONS, NO?I like like to session on duvel or Jagermeister so its not like a 5.9% beer waz scary, but the alcohol creaps up on you when you’re "enyoying" those flavours:)Tastes like caramel butter and apple ! I could gladly drink a lot of Fullers esb! blklab2007 (932), Connecticut, USA Aug 3, 2007 bottle, copper in color, light on aroma and lightly carbinated. there is some bitter hops bite as well as tastes of malts and alcohol.
