Appearance: Pours a clear, medium brown body with a bubbly white head. Smell: Malt, nut-covered nose with some light notes of spice and fruit. Taste: Altogether nutty maltiness with a light caramel sweetness. Tiny bit of berry fruitiness. Light hops, spicy and floral, with a small amount of bitterness. Fine dry finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Relatively soft, smooth mouthfeel. Drinkability: Keenly drinkable and refreshing, due in part to it’s low ABV.

From a half liter bottle Pours light brown/red but clear pale with a small almost non existent head. Smells of oak and malts. First sip is malty and spicy with a slight bitter hop presence. Finishes well. Nicely bodied slightly under carbonated

500ml bottle from Nelson Wines. I agree with Ian, this is more an ESB than an old ale. Mid brown with a peristent small cream-coloured head. Bready malt aroma and a dry, slightly fruity taste. Solid and enjoyable.

500ml bottle from Utobeer. Malty ESB. Clear deep russet colour with thin beige head. Coffee and dry malt and deep red fruit aroma. Something berry-ish about it, hedgerow/herb. I want to say juniper berries. It has this hardness to it, from what? The water, the pasteurisation/filtration? Lots of dry malt and not a great ESB, but still fine.

Amber with a small white head. Malty and bready aroma. Fruity flavour with a clean malt impression.
