Botle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear amber with a creamy off-white head. Lovely citrusy hops. Medium body, very dry fruitiness but completely dominated by the citrusy hops. Nice one but so much not an ESB! 151109

This is the quinnesential fall ale, noticeably hoppy but not overpowering, very drinkable. The liquid equivalent to rolling around in the leaves in late October.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity nose with notes of orange, fresh hops and some crystal malts. Fruity, slightly malty taste with caramel, toffee, crystal malt, mandarin and fresh hops in a finish with a fairly short bitterness. Gentle and smooth with a clean malt profile and a tasty hop character. Nice one.

12oz bottle, past it’s best by date. Orange-tan color. The aroma is sweet and full of crystal malt. Has a full mouthfeel and a pretty solid ESB taste. Interesting hop finish, pretty bitter and a tad syrupy. Well balanced toasty malt body balances it out. Pretty good stuff.
