A little more hops makes this a little better than the Oxfordshire for me. Pours amber, a little light than Oxfordshire ESB. Light citrus dose here, texture is a little cloying. Cask at Churchkey.

Bottle. Light amber with an off-white head. Bit of bread, bit of earth, bit of straw, bit of vomit, bit of caramel, bit mellow, bit bland, bit boring. Dull for the strength.

Pours light, clear copper with a chunky off-white head. Aroma of apples...malt. Taste is softly fruited and bready. Light hop bitter. Nice, if a bit simple and plain.

Bottle 500ml @ John Bull Pub, Aalborg
Pours clear golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, yeast, floral, herbal and grassy hops. Taste is light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Describes itself as a red beer but it didn’t seem that way to me. A flavour balanced with hops and malt but finishes with a strangely flat, blander aftertaste.

Bottle, 5.2%. Clear golden with big white head. Aroma is malt, little caramel, hop and a little grainy. Flavour is malt, hop, little sweet, little caramel and bitter.

Just a bottle to pass the time late Tuesday evening. Pours copper small head little nose. Tastes of caramel, grains, vanilla, and cereal. Not a lot of hops slight sticky on palate.

Bottle from Voldby. Clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and light hoppy - fruity and straw. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 300812

Lovely artwork on my 500ml bottle: this bottle conditioned beer was entered into the 2011 Sainsbury beer challenge, as already stated by a couple of other UK based BA’s. It didn’t win by the way. Best before 11/11/2012, drank as I reviewed on 12 Oct 2011. Poured into a UK pint sleeve: I might have over cooled it, no chill haze but the head left before it arrived and my wife has been using my cooling fridge for her wines and turned the temp down. Good looking beer, even without it’s head, solid amber, orangey red colour and clear. Some fruity hop notes, becoming more striking was the beer warmed. Good balance of flavours, not too hoppy even in the semi-bitter aftertatse, the malts evening out any true bitterness. The alcohol only appears once the mouth is really dry between sips, strange but not unpleasant. Easy to drink and I’d love a cask one to compare.
