Alright despite the age. Very malty but some nice hops there somewhere. Caramel. Bit of lemon. Decent!

Can. Nice clear amber pour, white foam on top. Malty caramel nose, nicely balanced with some hop character. Light sweetness. Taste has malty body, relatively light and somewhat biscuity, medium bitterness. Piney even, they have not been stingy with hops here. Well balanced and quite drinkable, lingering dry bitterness. Not bad, but I am not sure why this is ESB and not English IPA.

Can (thanks jinroh). Pours amber-copper. Aroma is fruity, citric, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, fruits, citrus, sugar, caramel. Finish is citric bitter. Overall: very good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Karuizawa Kogen Seasonal 2017: ESB American Style (軽井沢高原ビール シーズナル2017) on 25 Jan 2018 at 20:45
