A full-bodied golden beer with a fruity & spicy aroma and palate and a low bitterness. Best enjoyed with a mature cheese ploughman’s or beef stew perfect for this time of year.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Sweet spicy nose with some brown sugars. Medium body, sweet burned caramel, fruits and quite some coriander. Some Belgian yeast and licorice. Even a little late hops. But indeed very Belgian in style even if perhaps a little too clean. 230511

Cask cellar run at Old Buttermarket Canterbury. Deep reddish amber colour. Lots of Belgian estery yeast on aroma with some toast and rich malt aroma. Not much condition in mouth but then its been cold recently so this may wake up as weather improves in day or so. Some sweetness on finish. An English ESB made with a Belgian yeast. Some ester banana on finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Carter’s Rest, Wroughton, Wiltshire 29/1/2011. Deep, reddish amber with a decent, off-white head. Sweet, caramel aroma with some banana and cherry fruit. Flavour had toffee, doughy malts and some yeastiness, with a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Wenlock Arms on 8th November 2009. Copper with a fully diminishing white head. Strong pungent and spicy; still with that herby "Adnams" hop aroma. Textured mouthfeel.

Cask, handpump at the Market Tavern, Shepherd Market, Mayfair, London 21-11-09 Pours amber with an off white head. I consider the aroma to be fairly standard ESB territory save for the odd dab off spice here and there. There is spiciness in the mouth, its a touch sweet also, some banana also noted, light on the alcohol, its ok. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0
