Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival 2009. Hazy orange color. Fruity sopay aroma. Hoppy flavor, some citrus and grass. Decent but also quite ordinary.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber in colour, nice head, lots of lacing. Nicely balanced sweet, but with a hoppy finish. Good ESB.

Pours a hazy dark orange color. Thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is caramel malt and sweet corn. Flavor is odd--has a mild sweetness up front that is overtaken by bitterness and a skunky off-flavor. Don’t know if I just got a bad bottle, but this one was a drainpour.

Straw colored? More like deep red! Creamy fluffy head, faintest of tan. Dry rusty malt nose, earthy hops. Sugary sweet, balanced midpalate, little hop forward in the finish. Kudos for the organic beer!

Draft at the OF. Some crispness up front, which leads to a rather insipid malty body, and balanced finish. Just barely medium bodied, too thin for the style. Somewhat dirty, dry taste. Nothing special or extra about it, but still fairly drinkable.

Aroma has some earthy bitterness and sweet malts. Flavor is a bit metallic with some pine and moss.

12 oz bottle courtesy of alagnak. May WK2 notched on the label. Pour is hazed orange golden copper with a two inch beige head. Falls with soft crackling and minimal lacing. Aroma of faint cracker malt, and some sour citrus. As it opens up, the sour turns to a more pleasant floral, though not that much more pleasant. Taste is mild sour grain - with more of the soda cracker malt. I am not sure if the sour edge is intended or not, but it does not really help or hurt this beer. Palate is medium to light, a little oily and watery, with above average carbonation. The aftertaste is sweet and sour. Overall, a pretty forgettable beer. As it warmed, the sour came across much more like a bottle infection. Thanks for sending this my way Chris, always appreciate a Lakefront.
