Aug 15, 2008 Some hop nose, quite attractive color, with a nice head, nicely balanced, with very light palate. VERY LIGHT throughout all qualities. This tastes like increasing the ingredients would make a very nice beer.

Aug 14, 2008 Why such a low rating?? This beer was quite enjoyable. Nothing to hump a leg over, but it is what it is, simple and tasty. No scent of queef detectable, as is the case in many ESBs. The hops bring a nice subtle bitterness to the maltomeal. Yes, there are better ESBs out there, but who cares? This is a nice little ale that I probably will never buy, but will certainly never turn down a free one.

Aug 14, 2008 While this is a simple brew I enjoyed it quite a bit. Clear copper color with a thin head. Aroma is malty and grassy with traces of fruits. There’s really not a ton of flavor but it’s nice on the palate with light caramel and soft floral bitter hops with a silky finish. Nice.

Aug 10, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s Pre GBBF Tasting
Golden brown with a thin off white head. Reasonable balance of mildly sweet bready malt and some grassy and spicy hop. Faint bitterness in the finish. Drinkable but seriously lacking character.

Aug 9, 2008 Has aromas of hops and some spice. The head retention is disappointing but the flavor is rather interesting. It tastes of carmel, some spices and a little hoppy. It’s mildly complex, but nothing terrific.

Aug 8, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours clear copper with thin off-white head. Aroam is mild floral hops, caramel malts and some light spices. Flavor has light hop punch with caramel and sweet malts with touch of spice. Nice refreshing brew based with caramel flavor and light hop bite. Nice session ale.

Aug 7, 2008 12 oz Bottle@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. A thin filmy foam over an opaque, golden brown colored body. Rich aroma of cream-caramel and fresh tropical fruits. Taste is sweet caramel/toffee balanced by a sharpish, fruity hop bitterness. Medium-bodied. Sweetish malts and a more gentle bitterness in the finish. A very nice one, suitable as a session-beer.
