Id be willingto bet this is a re-label of their elora ESB. Anyways.....this is a barebones bitter. Light goldings, light pale malts, some touch of caramel, and wet paper. Meh. [br]8/13/2012: Bottle.
Clear brown pour, small white head. Aroma of toasted cereals, light nuts, and some earthy, grassy hops. Light sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium bitter finish, with a solid toasted nut that lingers.

Bottle from the brewery. Clear dark copper with a small white head (after a very aggressive pour) that fades quickly to a sheet leaving minimal lace. Nose is caramel and bread with a little bit of nuttiness. Light toffee sweetness with a moderate hop bitterness along with some tea. Mouth is medium thin with very soft carbonation which I expected as soon as I popped the cap (not sure if it has gone flat or if this is the nature of the beast). Just OK.

Draft - Biscuity malts. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Biscuity notes and nice bitterness. A long mellow bitter finish. Pretty decent.

Originally rated January 2010. Bomber bottle from the LCBO, cellared for a year. Pours a golden-orange colour with lots of little bubbles for carbonation. Huge off-white head that is fluffy with maximum retention and full of lace. Good aromas of the fuggles hop with some notes of nutty and caramel malts. A nice balance again in the flavours, with the caramel malt and the hop. A mild bitterness is present all the way through and into the aftertaste. Notes of nuts, light fruits (oranges, apples) A shock for a brew from Trafalgar... beautiful looking, no infection, very well-balanced all-over. Probably the best beer brewed by this brewer and an excellent overall ESB.

Bouteille 500ml. de couleur cuivrée-brune et claire. Nez malté de caramel sucré avec des notes de céréales rôties, moyen de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses, terreuses et citriques, léger de biscuits avec des notes fruitées (agrumes) et de noix. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture moyennement huileuse. Notes fruitées (agrumes) et accompagné d’un léger goût de noix et de biscuits ainsi que quelques traces épicées (poivre doux) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de caramel sucré aux notes rôties avec un léger goût de butterscotch. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une légère-moyenne amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées), légèrement floral et terreux avec de petites notes citriques jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen, léger-moyen amer de houblon herbeux, légèrement floral et aux notes terreuses avec un léger goût de noix et des notes rôties.
