Amber colour. Citric aroma from hops and very tea-like. Resiny flavour with a wonderful hop profile, that’s fresh and citrusy. Very well balanced, maybe a bit one-dimensional.

First time trying an ESB. Not as ESB as I thought but still very good. Pour a nice bark brown and had a nice thick foam head that lasted a while. The smell was a little week from an ESB in my opinion. The taste and drinkability were both really good.

Draught. Pours clear amber with a small white rocky head, somewhat diminishing with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, grain), light hops (grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apples and roasted vegetables. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness; husky grain and sour yeast flavor. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation and a metallic, bitter finish.
