11/02/2013 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Ambrata, viva, limpida, schiuma bianca molto abbondante e persistente. Al naso sentori di malto e luppolo, buona, ma la sensazione è che non sia proprio freschissima. In bocca si lascia apprezzare, nonostante manchi un po’ di brillantezza e freschezza, si intuisce che siamo di fronte a una birra di ottima fattura. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Da riassaggiare.

Bottle at the Geeen Man, Kuala Lumpur.Poured a clear dark copper colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is rich, smooth and malty, leading to a medium bitter flavour where the malt toffee and caramel dominate, even on the palate. Some nice bitterness persists in the aftertaste. A super beer from Fullers and great in a bottle too.

12 ounce bottle. Bright copper color topped by a small foamy white head. Fresh citrusy toasted malt nose with hints of toffee. Subtle sweet malt flavor has notes of butterscotch, biscuit malt and peppery hops. Their is an underlying complex fruitiness and toasted malt backbone that makes this ESB a true classic. One of my all-time favorites, though it has lost some hop spiciness in recent years.

Bottle. Clear amber body with a thin off-white head that quickly fades. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of dried leaves, earth and red berries. Flavour of biscuit, honey, toffee, lightly roasted malt and hints of bitter orange marmalade. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. A subtle, well balanced beer.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur cuivrée-ambrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt et de caramel, moyen de houblon floral avec des petites notes herbeuses et citriques ainsi que des notes de miel et de fruits (agrumes). Moyennement ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût très légèrement fruité (agrumes, traces de pêches) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de grains de malt sucrés aux faibles traces rôties et terreuses et léger de caramel doux. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne-légère amertume de houblon floral, légèrement herbeux et aux notes citriques qui s’intensifie quelque peu jusqu’en fin de gorgée. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral, légèrement herbeux et aux notesrésineuses avec des traces fruitées (zeste agrumes), de noix et d’épices (poivre).

Delightfully smooth golden brown ale with the thinnest of heads. Sweet aroma but a better sweetness in its mild fruit flavour. Has a smooth bitterness about it too.

Bottle - Banana, caramel, grains and alcohol. Banana foster, much like some german beers. Copper and clear with no head to speak of. Taste is much like smell, fruit esters, yeast, caramel and some alcohol heat. I didn’t get much flavor from the hops, so I will try this again. Dry finish with low carbonation.
