Can, Janadakot Liquor, Perth, WA Pours a murky, brown clour with copper tones Aroma is of light sweet malts, suprising considering the darkness of the colour. Flavour is sweet, smooth, a little metallic at the front. Better than I remeber last time. BB date removed, so likely OOD

Deep cobber with red highlights and a thick tan head. The beer is brilliant clear. The aroma is of fruit, raisin and a bit bitter. The taste is flowery and bitter hops with a backbone of caramel. The body is medium-light with low carbonation. The aftertaste is bitter and the finish is dry. BJCP - 8B.

500 mL. Dark brown-red with a medium-sized, lasting head. Aroma is faint: caramel, maybe some chocolate with a metallic tinge. Flavor is dry-earth spice/yeast, cola syrup, and toasted bitter nut. Medium-bodied and smooth with a drying finish. Lots of malt flavors balanced well with the dryish yeast and bitter-herby hops.

Bottle. Lager glass. Decent amber/mahogany pour. Head recedes quickly. Flavor is mostly chewy malt with fruity notations of cherry and perhaps apple in addition to caramel sweetness. Somewhat complex, but not necessarily indicative of the style. Good.

Brown 12 oz bottle and pop the lid to get a mild laid back aroma. Pour it into the glass and and it looks somewhat like root beer, clear and reddish brown. Flavor is much milder than I expected, friendly with many manners. I like this brew, it is non offensive and easy to deal with. Does have an ever so slight bitterness that is barely detectable but this is much less than many good pale lagers I’ve had. Undoubtably one of the better ESBs I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Much better than speckled hen and whitbread pale ale. Has the better attributes of malt roastiness without bitterness. Fun and easy to drink, very nice and refreshing. Would not hesitate to buy this again. Glad I tried this, I almost passed it by because I don’t care for ESB too much. Leaves a pleasant memory.

Dark dark red with an off-white head. Aromas of roasted malts, plums, nutmeg and a nice sweetness that completes it. Nice character, full bodied and nicely carbonated. Nicely bitter... Sweetness is non agrresive, well rounded. Flavors and aromas complete each other nicely as well.
