Ethereal (2355) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 8, 2008
500ml bottle from Nelson Wines. I agree with Ian, this is more an ESB than an old ale. Mid brown with a peristent small cream-coloured head. Bready malt aroma and a dry, slightly fruity taste. Solid and enjoyable.

harrisoni (9609) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUN 23, 2008
500ml bottle from Utobeer. Malty ESB. Clear deep russet colour with thin beige head. Coffee and dry malt and deep red fruit aroma. Something berry-ish about it, hedgerow/herb. I want to say juniper berries. It has this hardness to it, from what? The water, the pasteurisation/filtration? Lots of dry malt and not a great ESB, but still fine.

saxo (7442) - Højbjerg, Aarhus, DENMARK - MAY 29, 2008
Sample at Aarhus beerfestival. Medium head with medium duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are malt, hops and caramel. Bitter finish. Reminds me more of an esb than an old ale.

FrankJohansen (3592) - Sabro, DENMARK - MAY 26, 2008
Bottle Hazy yellow colour with a medium white head. Aroma and taste of weak malts and hops. Well balanced and easy drinkable.

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 21, 2008
Bottle. Small quickly disappearing white head. Hazy yellow body. Sweet limonade like fruity aroma. Fruityness expressive. Too mild almost a soda. Low carbonation, short aftertaste.

Finn (2459) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAY 19, 2008
Bottle 0,5l. Brown colored. A tanned creamy head clinging to the glass and lasting for a couple of minutes. Aroma of biscuit. Flavor of caramel & malt. A dry bitter aftertaste. Well rounded.
