Bottled. Clear amber color, small tan head. Minerally metallic aroma with some toffee in it. Malty, licorice flavors, salty-hoppy finish. Mouthfeel slightly thin for an ESB. A bit similar to some Fullers’ products.

The color is extremely beautiful like liquid red amber. The head is moderate but gives nice lacing. The aroma is hoppy and malty with notes of caramel. The mouthfeel is smooth and the flavour has complexity with notes of sweetness, fruit, caramel and licorice-soft roasted malt. The finish is moderate but sufficiently bitter. It’s a very well balanced beer, and with it’s low ABV it has a fantastic full body. Well done!

Botella. Clear deep amber colour, rather short lasting head. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel and some ripe fruits. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild caramel sweetness with a good toasty amltiness and a comfortable bitterness with fruits and a littlke herby touch. Nice!

A Mes rate: Tobacco, marzipan and manure in what I can only describe as an unusual aroma. Good looking redish amber appearance but with poor head retention. Creamy, slightly effervescent(sp?) flavour with some enjoyable fruit notes plus some slight liquorice and coconut. A solid English beer. Still not sure about that aroma though!
