Shared at the Cotteridge Convention 2019. Poured a clear medium brown with a big frothy off white head. The aroma is light roasty, with a light, crisp, charcoal, light watery palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Bottle bought at the brewery. Malty aroma with floral and spice elements. Amber. Slightly hazy. Bubbly white head soon recedes to a few strands. Sweet with a hint of bitterness. Rich fruit and honey. Underlying malts. Medium bodied. Slick verging on sticky. Average carbonation. Long finish. Characterful ESB. Chock full of fruit.

Keg at the brewery. Low key floral aroma. Hazy amber. Thick foam head. Light bitter with a fruity sourness and underlying malt. Spicy finish. Light-medium bodied. Slck. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Doesn't pack the punch that the ABV would suggest.

Cask at the brewery. Sweet honey and banana aroma with a touch of spice. Light sour with some underlying sweetness. Mesium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Abrupt finish. It's fine. Perhaps a tad basic.
