Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Preston, England

Serve in English pint

Tap. Amber red with a minimal head. Aroma fruity hops with some grass. Medium carbonation.

Tap. Pours a clear brown with minimal head. Very clean and distinct flavor. Easy to drink and smooth- not over-carbonated. Good overall.

Poured from bottle into standard pint glass. Nice copper color with medium off-white head. In my opinion, not a great example of a "best bitter" or "special bitter" but a very good neutral English ale. Pronounced malt flavor balanced by characteristically English hops. Subtle fruitiness from yeast. Not excessively carbonated. Very refreshing. Very easy to drink a bunch. For the life of me, I don’t know why American Light Lager is a more popular style.

12 oz. bottle. Pours golden brown with a small white head. Light yet fruity malt aroma. Decent, yet lacking a small bitter balancing. Easily drinkable and light

Bottle at Minneapolis Beer Fest. Light amber pour, small white head. A little bit of caramel and hay on nose and taste. Nothing too exciting with this one.

Excellent beer, one of my favorites. A wonderful pale ale! It is also the perfect beer for making a black and tan!

Pours clear light amber with huge white head. Aroma is caramel malt and light fruity hops. Taste is sweet malt with some mild hop bitterness. A bit watery on the finish, but not bad.

This brew was quite the easy drinker and a good brew to have at the BBQ or fish fry. Not too heavy and not too light makes this a great brew to pair up with smoked meats or fried fish. One interesting aspect of this brew is that the red triangle logo was the very first trademark to be issued in England! One noticeable flavor in this brew was something akin to caramel saltwater taffy; just a good sweet flavor with just the right amount of hops on the finish.
