Pretty boring. The pub isn't as interesting as expected, either.

Pint draft at The Phoenix pub in London, England. Pours a clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Virtually no aroma. Pretty standard lager aroma with maybe a slight bitterness in the finish. Not as many caramel notes as your typical American ESB. It's "British cold" = not as cold as an American beer. Medium body and medium light carbonation. Low bitterness. OK, but underwhelming.

Fra cask på The Lamb, Hindon: klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Silkemykt og fruktig anslag med barskog, urter og hint av gress og krydder. Deilig bitterhet i den lange avslutningen.

Lovely pale gold with a creamy white head, and a sweet, malty aroma with some floral notes. Served in great condition, the mouthfeel is smooth and the taste is initially biscuit malt, progressing to a nice bitter hop finish.
