Erzbierschof, Bern tap: pours anber with a off white head. Aroma is earthy and caramel malts.taste is a bit sweet and not very pitter. More like an esb than an apa. Not crazy about it.

Cheers Mat, shared on 23rd Aug 2014 at the Midlands meet. Good amber hue to the body, with a bit of an off-white head. Nice blend of aromas and flavours, caramel front with a citrus overtone throughout which gave a dry and bitter finish. Certainly the best beer I have had from Switzerland so far in my drinking life.

Final bottle at the inaugural Midlands Bottle Share @ Richie’s Hop Palace. Courtesy of myself, bought from Drinks of the World in Winterthur. Pours deep amber with frothy white head. Surprisingly hoppy taste, vibrant citrus with a bracing bitterness. Despite the comments below I quite liked this.

Bit flat version of an American pale ale. Thin body of malt, with some mild hopping. Needs more power.

50 cl bottle @ wPBF, BBE 06/2013
Aroma is soapy with some peaches, grainy notes and hay. Also hints of caramel. Flavour is sweetish with fruity notes, some caramel, biscuits and gooseberry bush. Too messy and yeasty. Also the tartness does not fit here.

Ein interessanter Versuch der Eidgenossen neben dem im Lande vorherrschenden Heineken-Dominanz ein etwas anderes Bier zu Brauen. Kommt vielleicht nicht an amerikanische Pale Ales hin, aber auf jeden Fall ein gutes Bier.

Bottle (kindly donated by Quack-Duck!): Light amber coloured, hazy to cloudy, mid-sized "dirty" white head, herbal-hoppy nose with a distinctive bready-fruity background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, nearly medium-bodied, quite soft; lingering piney-hoppy finish with a malty counterpart. Good....
