355ml bottle. Pours a beautiful autumnal leave colour - somewhere between red and brown. There is a decent head to start with but is disappears fairly quickly. The nose has honey, cake mixture and cornflakes. The taste is more of the cake mixture a refreshing bitter lemon finish. The palate is medium bodied with a gorgeous creamy texture and a refreshing finish. Overall, a lovely balanced beer.

12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orangey amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of butterscotch / caramel English malts, citrusy / fruity hops and toasted bread. Flavour of English malts, butterscotch, dry toasted bread and citrusy hops - dry, caramely and slightly cardboard-like on the finish. Decent ESB.

12oz bottle poured into an English Pint. Pours a hazy dark amber with about 2 fingers of thick white head. Aroma is a little caramel malt with some citrus and pine hops. Taste is light bitter. Some piney hops with a good bit of bready malt. Light bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, it’s ok. I was expecting something a little better from them but then again, I think this beer is pretty old.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 10/14/2011. The beer pours a hazy dark golden color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Nutty aroma with notes of caramel malt and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of sweet caramel, roasted nuts and fruit. Mild hops in the background. The finish is malty with a fruity aftertaste. Decent ESB overall.

355 ml bottle. Slightly hazy, dark golden body with a diminishing off-white head. Aroma is dominated by citric fruit, some malt and caramel. Flavor is fruity, peaches and malty with some caramel and decent bitterness. Nice and refreshing ale, but more of an American pale ale than ESB imo.
