Taking inspiration from classic ESBs, Call It a Day includes chocolate malt from legendary English maltsters Thomas Fawcett alongside pale and caramel malts for a taste that is both timeless and modern. Relaxingly smooth on the pallet and full-bodied at 4.9% alcohol, Call It A Day is chock-full of notes of dried fruit, cookie, and a light touch of dark chocolate. The perfect quaff for clocking off whenever you decide it’s time to.

Weich bitterer Start, das dunkle Malzaroma kommt im Mittelteil zur Geltung. Etwas trocken, die Bitterkeit steigt an, brotig. Langer Nachhall. 9/9/11/9/7/9

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', best before July 2022. Clear, ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, minimally grassy-spicy, a little herbal-fruity aroma of caramel, marmelade, nuts and light tea. Gently sweet, malty, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy, a bit herbal-fruity taste of caramel, marmelade, nuts, tea and some raisins, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite dry, moderately herbal-grassy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Simole but tasty beer, truly British.

Small off-white head, reasonably stable over opaque chestnut beer. Malty nose with - I assume - British-intended wafts of diacetyl (not too much) and caramel. Later rainwater, wet dog, chocolate, brown bread. Caramel-, chocolatemalts in the mouth, but watered down, (mouldy) brown bread soaked in rainwater. Still rather sweetish in the end, bit liquorice-ish. Feels light bodied, lighter than a classical ESB as Fullers', f.i., despite being pretty slick. Almost nothing in the matter of aftertaste, just a hint at undescript bitterishness. This is indeed a (good) "quaff", but ESB is supposed to be just that tad above. Thanks to Joren for bringing, purchased at GeFeKo Berlin

330ml bottle. Clear, dark copper-ish, brown colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Mellow malty and sweet-ish fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of milk chocolate, hazelnut, red berries, some caramel, a touch of toffee, strawberry and rhubarb. Taste is dry, toasty malty, minimally tart, fruity hoppy, hints of strawberry and rhubarb, hazelnut, a diluted touch of milk chocolate and toffee, caramel. Watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium prickly carbonation. Nice composition, sadly a tad too light, watery and overcarbonated - nice.
