Bottle from D&J Liquor in (near) St. Louis, MO. Amber color with a decent beige head. Very "light stone fruit" aroma over slightly roasted caramel. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is rather malty with a fair amount of fruitiness. Finish tends to end bitter. Fits ESB style, though perhaps the malt is a bit rougher than usual.

Bottle from The Wine Merchant Ltd. in (near) St. Louis, MO. Coppery amber color with a frothy off-white head. Floral and fruit aromas. Near medium body with watery/frothy carbonation. Flavor is reddish roasted caramel. with floral bitter. Very pleasant. Suggests an ESB, given the florality. It is very tasty and drinkable. Sessionable.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and flowers - a bit cloying. The flavor is sweet with light notes of roasted malt, chocolate, soy sauce, and flowers, leading to a dry, roasted, and bitter finish. The body is good.

Bottle, Spar by Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. Pissy golden colour with a thin vanishing white head. Fragrant hop aroma. Pleasant enough citrus (grapefruit) in the flavour. Easy drinking, but little in the finish. Actually slightly better than anticipated but won’t be rushing back for a repeact purchase.

Cask (Cayo Arms,Cardiff) - Golden in colour with a small white head. Lemon in the aroma with a grapefruit and lightly tart hint. Refreshing lightly hoppy taste with lemon and a twist of grapefruit and pineapple. Not bad at all.
