Pen flaske 330ml fra Alko Muonio. Drukket i Skibotn 18 Aug 15. Mørk aprikosfarget. Uklar. Lavt skum som raskt blir film. Forsiktig maltaroma med hint av frukt. Smaken er plommer & rosiner. Blir tørr etter hvert. Ettersmak av ekstra tørre rosiner. Ekstra uklar siste kvelling. KI=3.

33cl bottle from Alko. Pours copper color with a thin white head. Not even a little fizz when uncorked. Aroma has cow dung, cooked vegetables, berries. Yak. Flavor is better caramel, sweetness, biscuity malts and light hops. Horrible aroma. Rerate later.

Many thanks to Finn for this one that comes in a 330ml design bottle. One-finger thick, off-white head with satisfying retention and fragile lacing. Hazy apricot coloured body, muddy last pour. Malt-fruity aroma including dusty hops and toffee, mid-sweet. Blended taste of orange, herbs and juicy malts followed by a bittersweet tail. Soft in the mouth. Fair enough (Tromsø at home, 28.08.2015).

330 ml bottle shared by Kavu, thanks!
Dark orange, hazy body, with a quite small, frothy, slightly yellow head.
Aroma of caramel, citrus, sweet berries, sweet bread.
Taste follows this, with a bit more bitterness and some grass.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes sweet, medium bitter, malty, a bit fruity, grassy.
Good. Quite untypical ESB, pretty malty and hoppy. Not the most complex, but quite quaffable.

Bottle. Hazy orange colour. Pretty hoppy aroma, citrusy, fruity, some caramel. Interesting beer. There is some of the earthy and caramel notes classic for ESB but also citrusy juicy hops flavours. High bitterness. All in all enjoyable. Moderate to full bodied.

Bottle (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Deep orangeish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some wooden and mild herbal notes with mild toffee to it. Flavour is quite bitter grassy and floral notes along with some mild bready malts. Nicely lingering grassy bitter finish to it.
