Deep copper-amber color, small off-white head. Fruity peach aroma with sweet maltyness. Flavor is nutty-caramelly malty, some licorice like in Fullers ESB, but this has more hard candy and bitterness. Also a bit too little alcoholic for being robust ESB. Could be a bit more lively too.

An amber ale with a thin white head. A rather strange chemical sweet berry smell with light hops. In mouth, a light caramel malt with earthy hops, very light and watery. Boring. Bottle from LCBO.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with some retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of refreshing caramel malt with a light dry hoppy finish. Taste is also a mix between some lightly sweet caramel malt with some light traces of dry English hops. Body is about average with some good carbonation. Easily drinkable with limited complexity.

Bottle, Bargain Booze, West Kirby. Bottle. Pours a dark reddy amber colour. Aroma is malty with some caramel. Flavour is somewhat lacklustre, malty with some hop bitterness, but verging on the bland, and a bit of a chore to finish.
