As bold as brass and in your face beer. A hoppy red ale with a touch of caramel sweetness to start, then light nuttiness with a heavily hopped bitter finish.

‘Ave an absolute blinding time, ducking and diving with the Geezer.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and a bit of straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle @ Kings Day Tasting 2014 shared by Dutchdrebus. Slightly unclear autumn reddish color, full sized off-white head. Aroma is fresh, piney, spruce, hops. Taste lightly malty, hoppy, very nice piney flavor, spruce, freshly cut wood, a superb smooth bitterness and a touch of caramel. Medium body, soft yet suitable carbonation. Very nice!! Would drink this on a regular basis if it were available around here. Impressive stuff.

Cask-conditioned at the Barley Mow, 9/4/2014. Deep amber with a decent, off-white head. Sweetish, caramel, berry fruits and orange peel, with some decent hops in the finish. Good.

Cask, handpump at The Parcel Yard, Kings Cross Station, London, Wednesday 26th March 2014 Pours a reddy/brown colour with a off-white creamy head. This is an excellent ESB its tangy, fruity yet with a pleasant little seam of hops, really good beer. Nice malty character throughout, fresh and very, very moreish. I don’t see so many really good ESB’s these days but in a changing beer world with more golden hoppy beers coming to the fore here is a very good example. I reckon Steve Silktork would really like this beer! A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Cask at The Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malt and light red berry fruit. The flavour is medium bitter with a spicy pepper hop bitter light barnyard palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. This isn’t half bad. I’m not a red ale fan (bad experience with that horrible Murphy’s stuff) but this was great. I love drinking back in the UK and this is one of the reasons why!

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Lord Clifton, a pub in Birmingham, on 8th Feb 2014. Red hue to this clear copper coloured beer, a thinning white head sat on top. Slightly more malts in the nose than hop aromas: fruity and semi-sweet with a mild citrus bitterness in there somewhere. The taste was also a mixture of flavours, again with the malts just being the dominant factor. Traces of wood and nut flavours mingled with the light malts and fruitiness. Quite a pleasant blend. Medium body depth and with enough flavour to hide the alcohol nicely.
