reebtogi (1551) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 3, 2012
500ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a finger of of-white head that leaves some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is toasted malts and mild floral hops. Taste is nicely balanced between the malty sweetness and hop bitterness. Light to medium body and modest carbonation. A nice example of an English style premium bitter.

MikeKeller (404) - Kemi Rock City, FINLAND - JAN 31, 2012
Draught @ Oluthuone Leskinen, Oulu. This hazy amber beer has a flowery hoppy aroma with parfyme. Taste has the same characteristics, very summer-like.

Bottle enjoyed at home
Deep bronse red, thin offwhite head. Smells of earthy tones, grain malts and some hints of fruit. Malty flavor, good sweetness, dry on the palate. Hop resins in bitter finish. Quite elegant and drinkable ESB

suurjuust (242) - Tartu, ESTONIA - DEC 25, 2011
Hazy orange amber, white head, some lacing. Malty, slightly floral hoppy aroma. Taste is pretty bitter-hoppy with fruity undertones, some caramel and some malt. Slightly dry finish. Palate is pretty smooth for this type of beer. Nice brew.
