Nothing special. Hop aroma and taste is less than expected. Nice color. Too much CO2. Drinkable ??

Brewed by Marston, this IPA shares many characteristics with their other beers, as likely as not due to their famous spring water. Perhaps a little too lightly hopped for this style, it is still a very pleasant beer, with a good flowery bouquet, a little sweetness in the aftertaste, and a good full body. The label aims for a mix of traditional simplicity and class, but I find it boring.

Bottle at home... Amber... Big white head... Soft woody grapefruit... Soft oily fruits... Citrus orange grapefruit.. Soft easy.. And ok

Bottle from Sainsburys of course. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is weak malty. No hops here. The flavour is medium bitter with a hoppy, malty spicy palate.

Aroma is quite faint, some yeast, herbal hops and a touch of malt. Flavour is light bitterness, some fruity hops, nothing special, but I could drink this al night.

500ml bottle, pours a copper brown with small white head, fairly mild aroma with caramel and biscuit malts leading into a bitter finish with fruity and grassy hop flavours starting to come through. Pleasant enough.

<orangr colour, small head. Nose is hoppy with touch of lemon. Medium body, fine carbon, Taste is bitter. Palate is bitter herbs and citruses. [email protected]

Bottle from the Cromwell Road Sainsbury’s. Pours light amber with a slight white head. Aroma is floral over light caramel. Med body. Flavor is light caramel with some bitter hop that seems citrus with a little floral tagging along. It is classically bitter. My tongue says that to me. In the bitter finish the malt becomes a slight roast. IPA? Pretty tasty whatever. (just noticed this is an ESB - that fits much better than IPA)
