bottle - Pours copper with a one finger head. It has a light hop aroma, then a caramel malt flavor with mild hops. This brew is a little too thin bodied and finishes mildly bitter. Not bad.

Bottle. "Bottled during" Feb. Pours a bright orange-brown, thin head. Malty, slightly oxidized smell. So, it is a somewhat old bottle, and tastes like it: a bit oxydized and phenolic, but I’ll try to get around it. Has a biscuity malt profile if you can get past, sweet but not cloying. Hops did come across a touch more Germanic than English. This is a pretty okay beer, and I hope to catch hold of a fresher one.

Clear amber body, thin off-white head. Light, sweet, cerealy aroma with notes of Cheerios and grassy hops. Toasty, caramely body with an unusual tart finish. Rather thin.

Bottle at Kook’s Leaving Do at Chris_o’s. Deep clear copper/amber with lasting thin off white head. Odd hoppy aroma, bit of herb, fruity flavours in mouth, red berries (but only I got this). Stickyish hop. Bit of toffee on aroma. Clean flavour. Hop citrus finish. Unlike a UK ESB

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is slightly malty but you have to really get your nose in there. Flavor is of light hops and even lighter malts. Everything about this brew is bland and watered down. Look for better of the style.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma, pungeant herba and lightly resinous. Rather nice hoppy light ale with light citrus and sweet malt. Ligh bodied. Mondiale 2005.

An ok bitter. The aroma is mostly hops, and these are light. The whole beer is generally light; and the organic seems like a gimmick. Light palate.

Bottle Pours a hazy amber light brown. Small off white head settling to a thin ring that can barely maintain spotty lacing. Aromas are a nice blend of light malts and faint hops. Some fruity notes of apple and pear. Flavors are fruity as above, very easy on the hops and some malty notes. I would not have gi\uessed this was an ESB as it is faintt, mellow and lacing much of the bitter hops that I expected. Toasty, breadlike and pleasant. Aftertaste is woody and again lacking much of a bitter trailer. Probly not very try\ue to type, but I think a bit under rated and very drinkable. Thanks again to MrFacto for this interesting one.
