Botle at home. Pours deep copper with a finger off-white head. Nose is grains and malts, quite fain altogether. In taste, however, it's much better: it opens with sweet malts but it's quick to turn towards hops. It shows some mellow, but definite reisnous, very aromatic hop-profile that is very much to my liking. It closes with a long lasting, bitter finish, has light body and average carbo. A simple, but well-made, tasty session beer.

0,33 bottle. Menő megjelenés, a sör is szép, klasszik sötét borostyán szín, házi-sör keménységű közepesen tartós piszkosfehér hab. Illata inkább ale-malátás, picit élesztős, nem túl markáns. Első kortyra savanykás, végig picit savas, lecsengésben jó keserű sör. Angol bitterekhez nem hasonlít emiatt a savas-savanykás mellékhatás miatt. Ez közepesen testes, ott testetlenebb bitterek is vannak ilyen keserűek. Egy jó ale sör keserű komlóval aroma komló nélkül. Természetesen ajánlott kategória a keserű sörök kedvelőinek (mint én) .

Cool look, the beer is also beautiful, classic dark amber color, homemade beer hardness medium-lasting off-white foam. The smell is more ale-malate, slightly yeasty, not very pronounced. Sour for the first sip, slightly acidic all the way, good bitter in tone. It does not resemble English bitters because of this acidic-sour side effect. It is moderately full-bodied, there are more bodily bitters there that are so bitter. A good ale beer with bitter hops without the aroma of hops. Of course, it is a recommended category for lovers of bitter beers (like me).

Hungarian beers tasting, Žil Verne. Amber color with medium off-white head. Strong aroma of caramel, diacetyl. Taste again caramel, too much of it, diacetyl, metallic notes.

Bottle at a tasting at Zil verne. Diacetyl present, more so in aroma, but also in taste. Taste shows classic British character though, malt driven, toffee, caramel, also slightly metallic though. Despite the heavy malts feels rather thin bodied, also med-light carbonation. Not great not terrible.

Bottle from the brewpub. Olyan lassanszellemszőkös, mármint sör~. Illata tejes íze először melaszos túl édeskés, de aztán belesimul a selymes testbe. Karamellizált. Nem rossz, de előzetesen kicsit többet vártam tőle, nem érzem bitternek.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden amber colour with a medium sized white head. Citrus fruits and floral hoppy notes. Bread and caramel malts. Drying, fruity finish. Quite bitter for a ESB. Very nice.
