3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. A decent hopppy bitter, with some nice, sticky, earthy, green hop flavours and a medium bitterness. Even though this was quite nice it still feels like it was missing something.

Lasting head, beautiful copper color. Richly fruity heavy aroma. Very hoppy, bitter, clearly cut flavor. A demanding but in no means a bad beer.

UPDATED: APR 16, 2007 (Draught@Helsinki Beer Festival 2007) Aromatic hoppy, slightly fruity and slightly caramel aroma. Amber colour, clear and very small, white head with fair lacing. Aromatic hoppy, fruity, moderately bitter and malty flavour. Lively carbonated and medium-bodied palate. ’Huvila E.S.B.’ is very tasty bitter! 14/04/07 (original ratings were 7/4/7/4/14 and 6/4/7/3/14)

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark red color, little white head. Sweet caramel and malty aroma, some nuts come up too. Flavor is also mildly nutty with sweet caramel tones, reminds me of some doppelbocks over ESB. Dryness comes up in aftertaste and lasts. Medium bodied. One dimensional aroma, still good brew.

Draught @Gastropub Praha
Hazy nut brown, steady small white head, lace. Light, hoppy nose. Medium-bodied. Mouthfeel has fruity English hops. Good bitterish aftertaste. Well-done craft beer.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2008 (Draught@Pikkulintu) Nice, aromatic bitterness, grainy malt, dried fruit.
(Cask conditioned@Gallows Bird, Espoo, was 6-4-7-4-14) Very nice, red-amber color with practically no head. Mild, slightly sweet, slightly port-wineous aromatic-hoppy aroma. Fruity, sweetish flavor with lots of aromatic hops. Slightly bitter, but very smooth finish. Very smooth, velvety, medium-bodied, oily and slicky palate. Very smooth and drinkable bitter with a quite nice fruity and aromatic character. Could use a bitter kick in the finish, though. Did I say its very smooth?;)

Tapped, Helsinki Beer Festival 2004
Chestnut red, medium beige head that vanishes quickly. Caramel-like sweetness, flowery nose with notes of honey. Smooth palate, medium body. Flavor is bitter and sweet with notes of caramel. Very goof beer compared to other Finnish beers.
