(draught - calls itself ESB) Dark amber colour; little head. Fruity and malty nose. Quite bitter start, rather roasted, even coffee-ish taste. Big on malts underneath. Retronasal full of interesting flavours as artichoke, hoppy, leafy. Well-bodied, slick. Strange combination but good balance.

Pale amber,lasting off white head.Fruity malt foretaste with medium strength lasting hop finish. Great Belgian lace. When I had it, it was called a Pale Ale, which it resembles more than an IPA

When the brewmaster saw me madly scribbling notes about his beer, he brought out a bottle of this to share with me. This beer was a medium amber in color with an off white head.It had a good malty profile throughout with a mellow alcohol heat that didn''t overpower the flavor.
