500 ml bottle. as Kragelund ESB, from Voldby Købmandsgård. Batch No. 40. ABV is 5.6%. Amber colour, slightly hazy, large off-white head. Moderate but nice aroma, notes of herbal and fruity hops. The flavour has a fairly decent balance between the malts and hops, some sweetness in the middle, and the typical East Kent Goldings dry and "dusty" finish. Distinctly bitter aftertaste.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - ABV 5.6% - BBE 14-06-2011, courtesy of oh6gdx, thanks, 20110510) The beer poured copper coloured and hazy. Its head was quite large, white and long lasting. Aroma had malts, hops, mildly caramell and berries. Palate was medium bodied and dryish with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, hops, grain, caramell, mildly berries and quite strong bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and bitter. Quite nice. The noticeable berriness was quite mild and other flavours and scents were ok.

Bottled 500ml (Beer Hunters, BB 06/2011)
A bit hazy yellow-orange color, small white head. Yeasty peach fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Fruity flavor with grassy, rough hoppyness. Nothing to do with an ESB, but pretty ok bitter.

Bottle at Esbjerg Beerfestival. It’s a clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma has some herbal, vegetal notes, a little grassyness, and caramel. Rather uninteresting, luckily the flavor is better. Caramel with grassy and fruity hops, and a fine bitterness towards the end. Medium body, dry. Overall, a boring beer, but it drinks nice. 091023
