Vaiz (2681) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - OCT 14, 2011
Bottle at home. Clear deep amber pour, solid white head. Aroma of spicy hops, some grass, somewhat floral and a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is bitter, dry and spicy. Decently hopped. Creamy texture, and decent body for the low abv. Not bad.

Kristall-König (1859) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - SEP 11, 2011
Süßlich-malziger Geruch mit hopfigen Einschlägen. Süßlicher Start, bitterer werdend. Auch über den Mittelteil hinaus wird die hintergründige Süße beibehalten. Erst im Abgang gewinnt das Bittermalzige die Oberhand, agiert jedoch weich. Gutes Bitter.Test vom 13.12.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche

ogreface (1089) - Budapest, HUNGARY - AUG 30, 2011
British Store, Budapest. Homályos, ködös belsővel rendelkező sör, aminek olyan színe van mint egy rostos, vörösessárga gyümölcslének. Vékony, krémes, piszkosfehér habja van, ami vékony és elpusztíthatatlan lepedőt hagy maga után. Illata kissé melaszos, pörkölt mandulás, kissé poros és virágos. Ízében pörkölt diófélék érződnek először, aztán egy kis szárított gyümölcs, karamell és gyógynövények, gyantás komló. Könnyű teste van és apró kis, csípős buborékokkal van ellátva. Utóíze kesernyés, gyümölcsös és igen száraz, igen hosszan tartó. Könnyen iható, beszélgetős bitter, ami nem okoz különösebb, hosszan tartó élményeket, de nem rossz szomjoltó.

A - Sweet caramel and toffee with light citrus A - Medium to dark gold with lasting thick whit head T - Sweet and a touch sour with lasting strong bitter P - Full (oily) and soft to creamy O - A great E.S.B...just needs a bit of more control on the bitter

jvhemert (247) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 28, 2011
AROMA: malt nose, raisin and toast APPEARANCE: clear, amber, minimal head TASTE: light sweetness, lightly bitter at the start, medium finish followed by light sweetness again PALATE: medium body, sticky, lively, bitter finish OVERALL: a really nice beer that has a surprisingly full body for a low (3.7) ABV. Could have a bit more character to make it stand out among others.

kwik-lime (868) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 12, 2011
Hoppy with a fairly well pronounced bitter character for a beer with such low ABV. Zero complexity though, just an OK hoppy session beer.

jaghana (2830) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - AUG 7, 2011
Bottle 50cl, a clear amber ale with a nice creamy head. Nose is caramel like. Aroma is very hopy, with a creamy caramel body, well done beer for a such low alcohol, intense bitterness that gives a round finish. Hops is resinous and honey like, nice toasted malt notes too, very nice.

BeerViking (1430) - Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, GERMANY - JUL 31, 2011
Cask at GBBF 2011. Clean malty nose, treacle and burnt marmalade palate, good bitter finish. Tasty and chewy.
