Dec 1, 2008 Bottle (500ml). Poured amber with a good sized, dense, frothy white head which lasted very well. A earthy/fruity hop aroma with sweet caramel malts, nuts, mandarin, marmalade and light notes of gooseberries. Flavor was a mild earthy hop bitterness with sweet biscuity malts, buttery caramel, tangy orange citrus, light notes of pineapple and a dry/nutty finish. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry/creamy mouthfeel, watery texture and a decent finish.

Oct 20, 2008 bottle. Looks like iced tea. Cloudy gold/light brown in color.Smells of light spice and fruit. Aroma very much reminiscent of other English ESB’s I have had. Very flat mouth feel. A little bit of hops in the taste but not much. Very heavy on the yeast. Very dry and not really satisfying. Doesn’t even remind me of alcohol. Kind of tastes like a cider.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottle 50cl. Clear dark reddish brown, lacy head. Zesty woody hoppy aroma, reminiscent of a mild APA aroma. I like this. Malty with a mild-standard but almost exquisite woody-flowery bitterness. Medium with low carbonation, smooth. Dry woody-ish finish.
