Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Clear light amber. Light beige head slit to light cover. Pepper, greens, moderate toast. Bit of cherry and vanilla. Clean. Soft, but toasty. Maybe a touch breadier than I'd prefer, with long toast, light acid and minimal fruit. Good bitterness, dry. Could use a bit more base malt depth.

Pour is a clearish brown with a small whit white. Aroma is a nice caramel malt. Flavor is a very nice earthy British malt with some black bread and toffee. This is a solid ESB and very true to the style.
