50 cl bottle @ Oluthuone Panimomestari. Rated on 29.01.2011
Aroma has sweetish toffee typical to british ales. Also some nuts. Flavour has toffee, nuts and some caramel. An ESB lower on hops and higher on British toffee.

Bottle. Clear bronze colour with a medium sized frothy beige head which fades fast. Pretty carbonated. Sweet aromas of caramel malt and some hay. The flavours is also dominated by sweet malt with sweet biscuit and some butter. Light bitterness in the end, and soft and sliky mouthfeel. A good premium bitter, and one of the better among other british bitters.

Det skummar och färgen ser fin ut. En smak av tydlig humle men sedan tar det slut. Lite märklig och skum smak som slocknar snabbt i gommen.

Small cream head over well-carbonated, clear foxy-copper beer. Caramel and toffee nose, leafy, rainwater. Bitterish/hoppy/leafy flavour, much less sweet than suggested by the nose. Reasonable balance. In the finish, the bitterness becomes a tad harsh. Chestnut flavour. Slightly sticky MF, well-carbonated feel. Maybe medium bodied. Not bad, but not one I’d return to.

500 ml can from Systembolaget. It has a light amber body with a white head. Aroma are a blend of toffe, light fruity and hopps. Flavour contains caramel and toffe sweetness, fruity and hoppy but unfortunately a bit low on carbonation.

Not a bad soft-carbonated ale, though it’s the second unremarkable English ale of the I’ve tried in a row. The last one, Sam Smith’s winter ale, was a touch better, stronger hops taste than this one.

Bottle from Yamaya. Slight skunk smell, with light caramel malts, tobacco, grass, tiny bit of citrus. Bland nose. Glowing copper brown, low, fine head, bubbled rising. Light citrus hops, grass, medium caramel malt, quite grassy, really, touch of raisin. Tastes decent. Not exciting at all, but ok. Rather light on the body and fizzy.

Green Kings ESB på 5% som numera finns i burk på systemet.Ssom ofta med sydengelska öl väger humlen lite tyngre i balansen mellan humle och malt. Ändå en knäckig, smörkola bakgrund mot vilket den blommigt fruktiga fuggleshumlen får mycket plats att breda ut sig. Måttlig beska, något för stark för den ganska lätta kroppen. Hur som helst en riktigt fin öl.

Found in a can somewhere in Canada. Dark gold body, some carbonation, small but solid head. Aroma is dirty armpits, rotten hops, lots of those foul macro-lager smells you’ve learned to hate. The flavour is a barely detectable mix of grains with a slight hop finish. This ain’t no "abbey" beer but rather a very soft macro-style version of something English that you wish you were in England to actually buy. You can do better, at any local liquor store.
