Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice hazy golden looking orange to brown color with a bar pour’s kind of head (slim but slightly there). Lacing was somewhat there and slightly clingy.
The smell had a nice blend of sweet earthy English malts with a rounded sweet apple and obscure nuttiness lightly surrounding.
The taste was mainly sweet and earthy with a light nutty caramel blend of roastiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat subdued with a bit of creamy softness managing to allocate an even light harshness.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good ESB for the most part.

Had this at their grand opening party, June 19th 2013. Aroma was light sweet malts, some nut notes. Flavor was slightly nutty, with notes of sweet malts. Okay for the style.
