Clear amber beer. Slightly dry and slightly crisp palate. Crisp malt well integrated with light fruity hop. Finish is a little over dry for me but this is an easy drinking light ale. Fruit is peach and light orange.

50cl bottle found in Hastings. Golden amber with a ring of white head; rich malty aroma with a touch of sozzled raisins; full and fruity malt aroma; with a dry, solidly bitter finish with lingering hops. A rather good ESB.

Cask at the Royal Oak, RBESG 2011. Pretty amber color with a solid head. Grat hoppy nose, citrus and minerals. Lovely clean, hoppy, and tasty flavor. Earthy, light malt but great solid hops. Some citrus and grass, and a nice, peppery bitterness.

Bottle 27,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear deep golden with a small off-white head. The aroma has yeast and British hops and is slightly phenollic too. Medium body, low carbonation, a little caramel and nuts - again metallic accents. Dry and hoppy finish. 050211
