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.
