This is a nice smooth ESB. It has the body and light hop you would expect followed with the hint of sweetness.

bottle. a light, cloudy amber or orange with no head and no carbonation. it had a smell mostly of fruit to me with some hops. the taste, however, had no hops. what i tasted in it was apples. It was also sweet with a slightly thickish mouthfeel, and a sweet but short0-lived finish with a bit if bite.

Very English tasting. By that I mean: it has that ESB/no hops taste (yes, I know it’s hopped, but in that light way...). Not bad for an ESB.

Pours a sparkling dark orange with a rocky, beige head. Notes of caramel and toasted bread with perfumy hops backing up the malts. The mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied and creamy with a nice bitter hop finish. The flavor is an effervescent toasted malt and caramel with a pleasant fruity hop conclustion. Creamy and smooth, I rather like this one. Nice balance and easy drinking.

Bottle: The aroma has moderate amounts of caramel and fruit with some very faint floweriness. It pours a transparent amber with a small soapy off-white head. The flavor starts with moderate caramel with some light fruitiness in the background. The finish has a very mild flower bitterness. I’m told it’s not a fresh bottle which explains the muted hoppiness.

Cask at the brewpub at the brewery. Clean caramel aroma. Clear dark amber color. Off-white head that sticks around. Soft, luscious, fruity, malty with floral/fruity hop. The bitter balancing the malt does not seem to be pine or citrus. Fresh foral/fruity finish, hints of malt here at the end, mild bitter, and some possible citrus sour at the back of the mouth. Fantantastic.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber color with a medium off white head. Had a fruity and sweet aroma with a good finish, very easy to drink.
