Flaska från SBs lokala sortiment. En relativt torr och stram ESB. Lite lättviktig maltkropp som känns väl tunn för en ESB i kombination med mycket engelsk humle som är örtig och gräsig med rejäl beska men som saknar de blommiga och fruktiga tonerna. Ändå ett okej helhetsintryck, men jag har lite svårt att förstå tanken. En engelsk APA?

Bottle from Systembolaget, e-order in October 2013. Almost clear copper with a huge head. Aroma and taste of hay, fruit, something that reminded of "soap", bread and dried fruit. The finish was fairly bitter. An ok beer. Extra points for the nice label.

500ml Bottle - Copper with a small head. Caramel, rye bread and dried fruit in the aroma. Fruity, malty and moderately bitter taste with notes of caramel, raisins, rye bread and fruitcake.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Hazy copper colour, coarse head. Ripe fruits and generous amounts of hay-like English hop in the nose. Dryish with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Streamlined, somewhat bready malt. Dusty hay and grass. Long bitter finish. Very English hop character, but the malt character is more American style. Beers having the opposite tend to be more appealing, but this is a pleasant and consequently made, rather stylish beer.
