A traditional English ale, served with less fizz to allow for a malty, aromatic flavor. A special London yeast was used to add a fruity undertone to this beer.

On tap at the brewpub.
Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a bronzed golden amber color with a thin yet lasting head that dissipated at a nice pace. No lacing.
The aroma had the normal qualities of an ESB, creamy sweet bready to biscuity tones with some clean fruity esters.
The flavor cleanly produces the malty sweetness with some crisp nuttiness and then the fruity esters to balance. Exceptionally clean sweet malty aftertaste with a light grassy sweetness in there as well. Quick semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth sweet crisp feel to it. Carbonation rides fairly easy. Smooth sweet semi-creamy effects flow over my tongue nicely.
Overall, as an ESB it works and I would have again. Pass the fish n’ chips.
