This is Deans Brothers Brewing Co.'s flagship brew. The history of this beer began in 1980 when Bill Deans, at the age of 18, moved to England for a year with his English girlfriend, Philippa Jane, and discovered English Ales & the Pub scene.

This recipe hasn't changed in over 25 years. This is still the beer that Bill fell in love with in 1980 and drinks everyday. The only difference is that now he shares it with others!

On cask at the Daily Pint. Pours a hazed golden amber, honey color with a foamy off-white head. Aroma of hay, caramel, bread, honey, papaya, and cereal. Taste is pretty sweet bready malts with hone and a light but noticeable fruitiness. Good for your run of the mill ESB. Mouthfeel is your typical smooth cask conditioned.

This Brew courtesy of riversideAK. Wow, this is their flagship brew. Ouch. Pours copper with a bit of haze and almost no head. The aroma is mostly butter mixed with a light amount of orange hard candy and a bit of stale malts. The taste is an odd combination of sweet citrus hard candy and a cup of butter, a bit of bread and just a smidgen of pine hops.
