Our ruby ale Red Macgregor brewed to 4.0 ABV. Deliciously perfumed with hints of spiciness and toasted malts. Rich hop fruits giving way to a clean dry refreshing hop bitterness.

50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 02.02.2011
Aroma is slightly sweet with hops, toffee and some floral notes. Flavour is somewhat sweet with toffee, hops, some fruits and floral notes. Rather nice ESB, especially when looking at the ABV.

Total Wine & More, Fairfax 500ml: Pours a light amber colour with a nice creamy head. Aroma is surprisingly powerful, with a lot of piny hop hitting you right off the bat. Taste is actually bitter throughout, which is much more than I can say for many ESBs. Very mild sweetness. Very light body. Nice aftertaste. Has a hefty amount of flavour for the low ABV. Up there with some of the better ESBs I have tried.

0.5l bottle from Centra Colosseum, shared with RuneStumo in a random Oslo park. Pours a near clear light nutty-brown body with a nice creamy and bubbly beige head. Aroma has nice american hop-tones, some sweetish fruits and caramel. Average carbonation with a thin oily almost watery mouthfeel. Flavors are light roasted, some caramel, chocolatepaper and a light sweet finish. Good stuff, with a dry aftertaste.

From a 500ml bottle on 5/10/2011. Pours a clear reddish amber with a big foamy head. Has a quite a big malty, fruity, musky aroma. The flavours are similar, with sweet dark fruit and caramel malt, balanced by a medium to firm hop finish. Has a light body. A nice, tasty bitter at just 4%.

Bottle from bakken. clear caramelly nutty brown, smooth offwihte head. Strong spicy/herbal note, bitter, VERY british, very potent aroma, a bitter that actually also is powerfull in the aroma. Flavor is also very spicy and herbal, but with great finesse, An aromatic bitter that in fact tastes really good. You would not suspect this one being only 4%, body is full. Great beer. One of the most flavorfull bitter style beers iv’e had.

500 ml bottle. Beautiful, deep red body with a medium tan head. Mild malty aroma with a hint of citric fruit and grass. Flavor is soft and smooth malty, some caramel and some citric fruit and mild bitterness. Not really strong in flavor, but smooth, balanced and quite delicate. Nice as a session beer.
