Sep 9, 2008 Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma is playful candy malt a little licorice, grassy hops and an almost white wine like fruitiness. Buiscuity malts up front along apples, a little nuttiness like honey almonds, with some grassy hops and some bitter hops to finish. All flavors were a little weak but added up to be pretty pleasant overall. I havent tasted alot of ESB’s but this seems about average in my experience. Aroma was the best part. Very interesting...

Aug 26, 2008 draft. Citrus grassy hops on the nose with fresh cut apples. Pours pale blonde with a white head that last some time. Sweet bready malts up front followed by an earthy bitterness, with a slight resin flavor in the finish. It finishes dry and crisp. A pretty good ESB all in all, good session beer.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle... Poured copper, orange with a real thin white head that diminished immediately. Floral aroma with some spicy hops and buttery, malt grains. Leafy, herbal hops lend towards a warm malt balance. Alright flavor, would make a good session ale but it’s a little over priced for that.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours amber with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma er mild caramel, a bit of fruitiness and good grassy and flowery hoppiness. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, some good peachy fruitiness and a mild chocolate and hoppy bitter finish. Quite alright.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottled. Clean, light orange. Thin but creamy head is white. Ok lacing. Aroma is malty, a bit fruity (grape, orange) and has also some berries in the finish. Caramel malts and medium hops in the finish. Flavor is sweetish caramel and in the finish softly bitter. Dries up towards the finish. Quite smoot texture but stil a bit too carbonated and foaming. Medium bodied. Easy to drink.
