“I couldn't find out anything about the marque right now, but certainly low-medium ester level. On the nose, the pop is more on the spicy side with allspice, cask, but also fruit base, baking spices and pineapple. Spicy and tasty on the palate. Overall, no wow effect, but a tasty and relaxed sipper.”

“Leckerer Low Ester Hampden. Eine wunderschöne Nase mit tollen (und Hampden untypischen) Noten vom Apfel-Birne mit Karamell, Vanille und hell gebackenem Mürbteig, welche sich zu Banane und Ananas gesellen. Dazu noch etwas Lack. Am Gaumen dann das gleiche Bild, allerdings tritt das Gebäck leider etwas in den Hintergrund. Apfel und Karamell bleiben aber.”
