Draught @ Magnolia Pub & Brewery, San Francisco. Rated on 15.10.2012.
Pours a copper brown colour with a white head. Aroma of grassy hops and toasted malts. Flavour of weak grassy hops, toasted malts, resin and loads of hay. Light bodied, slick mouthfeel and a grassy malty finish. Decent.

Cask. Nice bitter-good malt backbone. Some toffee and hop finish. Good ESB interpretation.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught. Arbitrary score 4/5 for Appearance, as nighttime conditions prevented correct assessment. Woody, faintly fruity nose, subdued. Bitter, hoppy, but not citrussy. Again very light-fruity notes; if it’s fruit, it’s unrecognisable. Medium bodied at best, feels highly carbonated. Pleasing, if totally unspectacular beer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is a pretty mediocre bitter. Lacking a lot in aroma and flavor. Truly a pity.

Draft... Medium clear copper, dark than the bonnie but the head is weaker... Weak boring head, light toffee... Toffee with vanilla, weak finish

Small beige head. Clear brown body. Light roasty earthy aroma, sort of bland. Dry roasty caramelly taste with hints of sweetness. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry roasty resiny caramelly aftertaste with floral fruity notes. Decent, but boring. (0.5l cask at brewpub.)
