Nonic pint draft at Hogshead in Denver, Colorado. The pour is a gold copper brown, with a small light tan head. The aroma is light cracker malt, paired with a bit of toffee sweet, then some crystal malt. The taste is caramel nutty crystal malt blended nicely with grassy dry floral hops. The palate is light bodied, with low soft natural carbonation, and a clean dry finish. Easy drinking session beer, quite well made. This beer really came together as it warmed, great balance.

Cask. Deep amber body. Frothy white head. Aroma of bread, toffee, fruit, spice, husky grain. Note of earthiness. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body that’s a bit chewy, velvety texture, moderate carbonation. Sweet toffee taste is washed away by a light bitterness that lingers into the finish.

Cask at the brewery - listed as an ESB, so I have the suspicion that this is the same beer as the "English ESB" in the database - hazy bright red - nose explodes with bright fruity note (grapefruit, strawberry), earthy hops, bready malt and toffee - flavor provides much the same, quite a bit of grapefruit (without the bitterness, but with a touch of the acidity), but this is mostly a malt showcase, with some toffee notes, toasted bread - some hop earthiness but low bitterness - well done.
