not much of an aroma, you typical bitter, dry ESB smell. Flavou is much the same, nothing special, english hops, and a nice malt barbone, kinda wattery though. A decent ESB.

Bottle. Clear and carbonated red with a huge solid head that slowly began to resemble a tree stump. British crystal malt, minerals, CO2 and spicy hop aroma. Straightforward caramel malt flavor, fruioty and clean + lightly tart with supporting maltiness. A bit oxidized. Finishes with perfect bitterness and lingering sticky hops. Pretty good but I would like to have it on draught.

Can 0,5l - 4,3%. Brown golden coloured. A large creamy tanned head. Strong hoppy aroma with fruity hints. Caramellish flavour. Soft rounded mouthfeel. A bit one dimensional taste, but some bitterness in the aftertaste. A good canned beer.

Keg at Cerveceria Oldemburg, march 07. Slight herbal aroma, but very shy. Mild flavor, some crystal malts and a pleasant, lingering bright bitter finnish, not bad nor good. Shinny golden color with a creamy, thick white head. Creamy and gentle MF. A good, reliable, keg session bitter.

Bottle at home. Pours a beautiful dark ruby colour with a quite thin head. Fresh aroma of hops. Malty flavour with some sweet fruitiness and a nice round bitterness in the finish. Good, solid bitter.

Pint can: Pours Pretty dark copper brown color, with medium sized light than head. Aroma has crisp malts, light caramel, notes of cherry and pear. Flavor has lots of caramel and biscuit malts, bit of pear and faint touch of roastyness, with a firmly bitter finish. Pretty decent.

Not complex but easy drinking - attractrive copper colour, big malt, smooth and well balanced, noticeable hop aroma and aftertaste but nothing exciting. Decent premium bitter.
