Very light bodied beer, I didn’t think this was and ESB, thought it was a basic session bitter. Very subtle hops, and malts. Watery mouth feel and body. Bready, and slightly grass finish. Meh.

Аромат сразу весьма горький, хмель континентальный, затем молод классический, намеки на карамель, но очень слабо. Цвет обычный, пенки почти нету. Пьется трудно, сильные не естественные газы. Слишком горько от хмеля и в начале и в конце. В послевкусие намеки на мед от солода. В целом ниже среднего битер.

Bottle from Home Bargains, Christchurch. Pours a clear copper colour with a medium sized throthy off-white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, biscuits and doughy bread. Taste is caramel, biscuits, bread and a light touch of peppery spice. A slight earthy hop on the finish. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Nice one.

From the bottle. Golden amber colour with small white fluffy head. Very very clear. Aroma is malty, bit of honey, bit of marzipan. Slightly stinky too. Taste is caramel malt, slightly sweet (honey) bit of bitterness towards the end. Slightly sugary. Bit thin in the mouth. All in all, not bad, but not really my kind of thing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ringwood Fortyniner (Bottle) on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep amber with decent lacing. Nose - caramel, and possibly butterscotch. Brown bread. Taste - burnt bread, caramel, some red fruit, probably strawberry. Then sweet pears on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied. Tangy rich and lightly sweet while being bitter at the same time. Overall - good in the end, after a bit of a dodgy nose.
