3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle from Spirits Point. Poured a thicker looking orangey rust body under a smaller foamy off white head. Initial aroma has a big blast of caramel sweetness along with dough that leads to more toasty grains and honey. Medium bodied with lighter carbonation and an almost creamy finish with a touch of bitterness. Flavor is on the boring side with notes of dried out orange rind, dry old bread hint of nuttiness. Meh nothing special here.

Bottle- Pours a dark copper color with a small head and some lacing. Aroma of pine and citrus with mild roasted malt, fresh grain and bit of herbs. Solid flavor of roasted malt with a trace of sweetness, some grain and herbs. There is a nice bitterness and a dry finish. Medium body, smooth and creamy. Very good balance. Very easy drinker, good for more than a few. Very enjoyable ESB. Check it out.

Pours a fairly light copper with a thin white head. It has a sweet, citrusy aroma. The taste is of lightly toasted malt with slightly bitter, citrus hops. The mouthfeel is a little light for my tastes, but it’s a pretty good beer.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle bought home from Tap East, Stratford City. Pours an amber / light caramel with a bubbly off white head. Quite a bready, malty aroma, a hint of raisin with a faint citrus hop aroma. Quite drying on the palate. Taste comes with caramel malt hit then a banana, almost banoffee flavour drying quckly into a doughy bready sftertaste thats also a little sweet and treacley. This beer reminds me very much of a ghost of a banana bread dessert topped with a little caramel sauce. Tasty, but lacking a little presence.

On nitro tap. Nose like a classic ESB. Head white and thick color red amber. Initial taste is clean slighlty hoppy building on a more hoppy note on the end. Easy drinking I could drink this all day. Well balanced not overpowering in any aspect.
