Bottle. Amber-brown beer with a tan head. Caramel and light citrus aroma. Caramel and citrus flavor with light woodsiness. Medium bodied. Caramel and citrus lingers with light earth and light toffee.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours copper with a slight beige head. Aroma of lightly toasted malt an floral/fruit hop. Med body. Flavor pretty much matches the aroma. Finishes a little malty and lightly bitter.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance has a hazy yet mostly transparent bronzed amber color. The head was about a finger and a half’s worth of white foaminess. There’s a light somewhat speckled lacing trying to show its face, but the head must last for at least a good minute before the lacing can actually be seen.
The smell has a fairly decent light apple with a light vanilla and light English maltiness running about my nose in a powerful sort of way.
The taste takes those previously mentioned flavors to balance with a slight bitterness very underneath (Fuggles hops, I think, I could be wrong, but I think that’s what they are). The aftertaste is very bitter and dry and has a decent crisp feel into the finish.
On the palate, this one really wanted to sit at a light, but somehow showed a quality that wanted to sit at medium. Sessionable, kinda yeah, I could see it. The carbonation is really smooth if that helps.
Overall, in my opinion, well, this was a fairly good ESB worthy of having again.

Amber ale with thin beige head. faint malty aroma with some piney hops. taste has hops take a more prominent role, and lingers on the palate. Pretty good approximation of the style

Bottle. Another of those beers that seem everywhere, yet I’ve ignored it. Brown with white head. Caramelly and parsley aroma. Caramel malt flavour with a hop crispness in the finish.

Burnt caramel. No head. Mild bitterness on the nose. Slight pine cone and candy corn Taste is decent. Alkaline taste with candies and British dryness

Bottle. Amber in color thin, white lasting head. Nose is toffee and English ale yeast. Flavor is right along the correct flavors for the style. Weak caramel, nuts and yeast. I don’t get any bitterness at all. All malt. No bottle date on the label. Hard to know if age has hurt this. Overall drinkable.
