clear amber, thin off white head, light floral hop aroma, sweet carmel malt flavor, light bittering hops still lets the sweetness come through, picks up at the end and becomes a nice sweet esb, would make a good evening session beer

Bottle at Kook’s Leaving Do at Chris o’s. Deep clear copper/amber with lasting thin off white head. Odd hoppy aroma, bit of herb, fruity flavours in mouth, red berries (but only I got this). Stickyish hop. Bit of toffee on aroma. Clean flavour. Hop citrus finish. Unlike a UK ESB

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Jcapriotti (thanks!). Bottle labeled, bottled in July. Poured a lighter amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of oranges, toasted malts, and bread. Tastes were on the weaker side and somewhat watery with tastes of caramel, citrus and toasted malts. Thin and watery body.

Bottle. Sweet caramelly malt characters, with a touch of slightly piney, slightly aromatic hops. Not a whole lot else to report. Has a fairly straight forward flavour, easy to drink, but maybe a little dull.

Bottle... Clear deep amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Malty, phenolic aroma and flavor. Medicinal with notes of bandage and toffee. Peppery hops. Medium-bodied with intermediate carbonation. Mildly sweet, medicinal finish.
