Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 17, 2005 Updated: Jul 3, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Dark, clear amber-colour with a thick creamy head. Gets hazier when you approach the bottom from the sediment. And gets pure mudwater if you pour the last finger. Slightly nutty with a dry hoppiness. A nice bitter. 150305 Schultsc (478), Henderson, Nevada, USA May 17, 2005 Sweet, fruity aroma with some hops. Lots of malt in the flavor with medium hops bitterness. Well rounded without any edges. Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA Apr 27, 2005 Well first of all, this is a very attractive beer. A cloudy light brown color with a very thick off-white head. The thing is there is little yeasties floating around in it. I’m not offended by this but it’s not very attractive. Hops in the aroma but nothing too noticeable. Flavor is hoppy and lightly fruity. Too much fizz in the mouthfeel. But really, this is a good beer and if I ever found it on cask I’d be overjoyed. beerandrugby (210), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Apr 4, 2005 bottle. Very nice English pale...orange-hazy color with a good frothy white head. great aroma....nice refreshing apricot grassy hop flavor with a sweet malt flavor. good. i think under rated? ChristianSA (368), Copenhagen, Denmark Jan 24, 2005 50 cl bottle; Hazy red/brown with excellent head, that lasts until the last sip. However a lot of small bits of stuff floating around keeps this beer from getting a ’5’ for its looks. Aroma is very discrete with some acidious notes. Flavor is very yeasty and a bit metallic - it seems to be overconditioned or stored under the wrong conditions. However if you look for it there is a hint of strawberry below ..... i would love to taste this on cask. Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 20, 2005 The Plain Kitchen, Göteborg. Light flowery hops, mild ozone, some oak, apple skins. Dark amber red, mild haze before dregs, with almost no head. Medim watery body with mild carbonation. Starts with mild sweetness, light apple flavor, and light acidity. Fruity hops with mild bittering at the finish. After is tart sweet acidic, with mild bittering. Nice ale. Adding dregs gives extra bitter, acidic tang. ThomasE (5179), Copenhagen, Denmark Jan 14, 2005 Amber colour with foamy off-white head. malty nose with a hoppy touch. Flavor starts malty, finishes with an average bitterness. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Dec 20, 2004 I don’t know who this "Pope" guy is, my bottle having no references to him... but this was a fine ESB. Pouring a hazy copper tone with a froathy, soapy off-white head, this has a floral and herbal hop aroma along with some orange fruitiness. The taste is a lightly sweet caramel, citric fruit, and earthy herbal hops. A very well balanced brew, this has a midly bitter finish.
