Oct 30, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a nice hazy golden orange color. Aromas of nice citrus/grapefruit hops. Flavor starts malty and the hops kick in, nice crisp bitter finish.

Oct 24, 2008 Aroma of roasted malt and light hops. A copper pour with creamy gooey off white head and lace. Medium roasted malt with a decent lingering finishing evergreen like bitter. A bit of a sulphurish flavor but barely a tick. Carbonation is a tad over the top mouthfeel is ok. A very nice drinker.

[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.

Oct 16, 2008 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.

Sep 22, 2008 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.
