12oz bottle. Clear amber with a lasting head. Hoppy aroma with light fruity yeast notes and some caramel malt. Pretty hoppy. Actually, this is quite hoppy and bitter, but retains the esb qualities, with some caramel malt, and fruity notes. Medium body and pretty smooth. Very drinkable. Pretty tasty.

Pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is lightly sweet with caramel malt, earthy hops and sour apple. Flavor is very fruity with citrus and an earthy quality. Medium bodied, somewhat sticky texture.

Pours a pale copper with a lasting head and nice lacing and a light ginger-ale aroma. Tastes of anglo-hops with pale malt with a hint of butter and a light toastiness. Plenty of carbonation. I’m really not sure about this one - not enough crystal malt for my ESB expectations. One-dimensional cheap hopping, is this Goldings? Still marked as "Belk’s ESB". Hmmm.

Pours a bit copperish with a thin cream colored head. The nose is bland and very English in malt and subtle hop. The flavor is the same with a decent dry finish. Decent mouthfeel.

Golden amber, caramel, hoppy, bready, little citrus, little spice, little to harsh.
