2.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle. Pours amber with a thick white head that retains. Nice hoppy grapefruit aroma--bizarre for an ESB. Flavor is sour milk--not at all what I was expecting from the aroma. Very strange beer I won’t drink again.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Hazy amber pour. Aroma was perhaps a little caramel and a lot of hops. The taste was fairly sour, and dominated by that and the hops. I like a lot of Short’s beers, but this isn’t one of them. Bleh.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle @ home. Amber orange appearance with a cream colored head. Sweet, oddly spiced, caramel malty aroma. Flavor again has this weird spicy flavor along with caramel malts, toffee, and earthy hops.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
14.10.2011. Bottle at Schoukjelleren, Oslo. Shared with Palme. Murky cloudy brown colour with white head. It looks like water abd dirt!. This is a sour beer. Aroma is sour wheaty with more sour flavours. Is this beer infected with some kind of bacteria or yeast? Flavours are refreshing and there are a lot of refreshing hops and sparkling flavours. Strange beer?
