Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Fruity malt aroma. Medium body with mild carbonation. Light roast caramel and lots of floral hop. Finishes lightly bitter and floral with lasting roast caramel. Very nice. Rather English.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Not the strongest bitter. More of an ale body, too sweet of a body and aftertaste. Some bittering in the end, but not enough for a proper ESB.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tastes more like a pale ale than a bitter. Lovely hop aroma. Fairly drinkable, but my colleagues disagreed. Tasty, but not a traditional bitter.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear copper color with thin off white head. Aroma is light and fruity with hints of strawberry, pear, and grape. Malty caramel flavor with sprucy hops. Touch of sweetness on the tongue. Light cereal grian finish.

Orange. Enticing aroma. Less than expected flavour but still nice with a certain hoppiness.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught at the brewpub. Dark amber. Neutral aroma. Peachy and fairly sweet with clean mouthfeel. With low hop rate and a simplistic malt character there is not much to catch my interest.
