Thanks to JK for sharing this one. A very mild bitter aroma and body with malty character. Dark orangish body with a white head.

Can’t remember if I had this on tap or from a bottle... Too light in color and flavor for a winter ESB.

(Bottle at One Pint Pub, Helsinki, on 2009-07-11) Amber and lightly hazy. Medium sized and quite dense head that lasts some time and leaves lacing. Medium bodied and bit dry palate with medium carbonation. Fruitiness, grass and malts in aroma. Malts, sweetness, hops, bitterness, fruitiness, grass and lightly sea water in taste. Sweetness and hops in aftertaste.

Draught@One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Deep golden color, off-white head. Caramel aroma. Slightly resiny flavor with some hops. Medium-full body, medium-light carbonation. It’s not a bad beer, but I think I’ll stick with Fuller’s ESB.

Bottle, thanks to JK for sharing. Pours an amber-orange body with white foam head. Aroma of caramel malts, floral hops, and maybe some grain. Flavor is similar with a hint of pine hops and fruit. Medium bodied with a light hop bite at the finish.

0.35 l bottle at Helsinki Beer Festival 2009. Copper to amber color. Sweet, grainy and berryish aroma with raspberry and red currant. Biscuity and berryish flavor, not as interesting as the aroma. Smooth palate. The aroma is good and complex but the flavor is kind of tired.

355ml bottle (HBF2009)
Aroma is woody peach. As it warms, it becomes black tea. Stale black tea. However, it was flat by the time I got to it. Clearly something pretty OK at its core though, probably some UK hops to give the black tea component.

A bottle tasted at HBF 2009. Hoppy nose. Pale golden yellow colour. Pale head. Soft slightly sweet taste with mild hoppiness. Slightly watery finish.
