Feb 1, 2009 I craved an ESB such as this when visiting northen France & was sick of overly sweet biere de garde and their lame Pelforth Blonde. Text book ESB .Oh my God its great after a long jog & you know your fridge is full of Orval . This beer is rich, its lively & not too sweet. Caramel and apple esters,burnt smokeiness from the yeast ? A bit roasted .Good ass session beer.

Feb 1, 2009 Pours a clean amber copper with a medium off white frothy head. The aroma has a strange character to it, can’t describe it. There’s caramel, earthy and herbal hops, . The flavor is pretty well balanced, caramel, earthy, a mild hop bite, a bit of alcohol, an English character. The palate is mildly carbonated and goes down easily. Good solid english bitter

Jan 30, 2009 hazy copper color. 3 finger head. Nice brew. smelled of hops, and a touch of malt. Taste a bit more maltly, but a nice bitterness to it. Bitterness doesnt stick around in my mouth, so its okay. Clean and crisp flavor, medium mouthfeel. its good, but i prefer the London Pride to this one.
