Drank this a while ago. Not that good, very boring. Some bitterness, with a hint of caramel.

Can. Aroma of crystal malt, caramel, metal, and mineral hops. Clear medium amber brown hue with an average sized off-white head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is smooth caramel malt with some mineral hops. Palate is light bodied and watery flat. Finish is average. Aroma and flavor have a distinct mineral and metal presence that keeps this brew from reaching beyond an average experience.

Pours a golden brown color with a small white froth. Very dry fruitiness in the aroma with some sweet creamy malt. Flavor is also very creamy and smooth. Fruity and malt driven, this is your standard English ESB. Quite smooth and medium bodied. Extremely easy to drink and a classic pub sipper.

Can. Pours a clear amber golden with a firm off-white head. Weird, sweet aroma; detecting notes of spices, citrus, yeast, cream, cereals and fruit mixed together in a bad, cloying way. Flavour is pretty much the same. Finish is sweet with notes of grass and wine. Lingering mild bitterness. A strange beer; has notes of lots of things which in themselves are okay, but the combination in this case is just not working. 06-07-08.
