3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Called "John Courage Amber" - Norwegian Jewel cruise (in Maltings bar) - pours indeed amber, nearly still fine carbonation honeyed malts and fruit notes. Good suggestion of bitter hops slakes the thirst.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet malt, toasted malts, lightly bitter and nutty.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Thin and watery but has a great taste. Very easy to drink with a bold after taste that leaves you wanting another and another and another....
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This brew pours a bright clear amber body with an aroma of nuts, caramel and cinammon. moderately malted, small thin white head with plenty of fruitiness. Finishes a little off dry.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Medium caramel aroma. Coppery amber color with a white head that didn’t persist. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. It’s caramel, but there’s almost enough floral bitter to balance. Maybe a tad too malty for an ESB, or not. Finishes with a decent amount of bitter. Pretty much fits the style.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This is a decent beer but it lacks in mouthfeel and overall richness. Thin and watery. Good balance. Just ok.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty nice amber color (of course) topped with a modest head but not a whole lot of lacing. Decent malty taste, finishing slightly watery. Not a bad beer but nothing too special. I’d agree that it’s pretty easy to drink

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com)
As I recall, it was amber in color with a nice head. Flavors of malt and caramel.
