Draught at brewpub. Diacetyl notes in the nose and caramel malt. Crystal clear body with slow visible carbonation and a white head. Nice backbone and subtle hop finish. Fairly on the style. Underrated.

Bready and roasted notes with a touch of caramel and nuts. Mild sweetness with good earthy undertones and noble hop notes. Nice and clean session beer.

This is a moderately deep amber with a small, weak head and thin, but long-lasting, pretty good lacing. The aroma is mild, with a somewhat full toasty, nutty element. The taste is predominantly somewhat sweet toasty nuts and malt with an offsetting mild bitterness giving a fairly crisp finish. As with many ESB-types, this is fairly tasty and flavourful, with decent body, and very smooth and drinkable, but not overly exciting. I happily drink it, but it’s not among my favourites.
