3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 RexTalionis (1508) - FINLAND - JUN 5, 2013
Bottled. Pours hazy amber in color with a small head. A bit of earthy notes and ripe apricot fruitiness in aroma. Slightly bitter gardenberries in taste. Even if the aroma is a bit off-putting I do lile this brew because quite soft fruityness and easy drinkability on a hot summerday at the seashore.

Good brew overall and as nice as Finnish beer as I’ve been able to find so far. Clean and crisp with a good heavy hop up front and nice mild floral and gritty notes. Well balanced but still hoppy .
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Moebbels (44) - FINLAND - MAY 10, 2013
Pours a light brown color with a little cloudiness. Head is minimal and white in color. Nose is quite mild and fresh with notes of citrus. Taste starts of sweet and malty and comes with a dry hoppy aftertaste.
Carbonation is minimal to the point of the beer feeling flat. Not quite as good as i hoped.

Hazy red-brown beer with a thin head.
Aroma is not that strong, some bready malts though.
Taste has that good ESB balance of malts and hops.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 fantti (464) - FINLAND - MAR 15, 2013
Kaatuu lasiin oranssinruskeana ja hieman sameana, vaahto on niukka jääden ohuena kerroksena oluen pinnalla. Hajussa on paljon pähkinää, hedelmää ja ruohoisuutta, pehmeää vanilijaisuuttakin löytyy. Maku on jälleen hyvin pähkinäinen ja hedelmäinen, nyt ruoho hieman pienempänä ja vanilijaa ei löydy. Hieman jotain virhemakuakin on joukossa hieman häiriten. Pullon edetessä tämä liimainen ja diasetyylinen maku häiritsi entistä enemmän. Suutuntuma on hiilihappoinen ja humalan puraisukin tuntuu. Hedelmäisemmän puoleinen ESB, eroaa jonkin verran tyylin "esikuvasta" Fuller’sta, mikä on hyvä asia. Jokin tässä jäi kuitenkin vaivaamaan, huonoa pulloa epäillen.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 agent_persik (117) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAR 6, 2013
Dark amber a bit hazy color, medium beige head. Aroma of malt, floral hops, citrus, with touch of caramel and licorice. Malty flavor with hoppy bitterness, some caramel and citrus notes. Medium body and carbonation. Quite nice and enjoyable ESB.
