Wells Bombardier (Pasteurised)

Can, bought @ Kvickly, Ribe.
[my 100th ESB, 11th style to reach a century]
Pours dark amber with a fine, creamy, yellowish head. Aroma has pine, some strawberry and good hoppiness. Fine, frothy mouthfeel. Flavour is nicely hoppy, some grapefruit and good pine. The water has character and a good, balanced maltiness. Very drinkable beer.

Pours a dark copper with nice tan head light hop aroma crisp clean and traditional english ale you can taste the water which adds to teh authenticity of the style a little boring for my taste but someone who is a fan of traditional english ale would really like this.

Can. Bitter aroma - like grapefruit. Deep amberred colour with beige head. Truly bitter taste - grapefruit again, wood and perhaps some grass. Bitterness stays in the aftertaste.

500ml bottle BB 31/03/09. Pours a clean deep amber body with thick beige head leaving lace on the way down. Muted spicy hops on the nose, bit of toffee malt and subtle fruit. Drying texture, bit on the watery side considering its strength, sticky texture, quite a good bitter hit. Grainy malts on the body, caramel and raisin, earthy hops make a presence with a bit of leafy citrus on a dry bitter finish. Stock standard bottled bitter to me. I do recall it being very fresh and fragrant off cask, so maybe thats influenced my judgement.

Cockney Pub, Aarhus, DK. On tap, 200908. Copper with small white head. Aroma of malt. Flavor is sweet malty with tones of dried fruit and caramel.
