500ml bottle into pint glass. Lightly chilled. Distant malt nose, a little toffee. Copper coloured beer with frothy white head. High and fine carbonation. Medium bodied with subtle hop bitterness. Finish initially brings on malt then follows with a bitter fruitiness. Good balance and right on the money for an ESB.

On tap at Lord Nelson, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma and flavour brings out astringent English hops, biscuity malt and some light metallic notes. Light and crisp, with a decent astringency. Decent.

On tap at Lord Nelson, pours a hazy dark mahogany with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, bready caramel malt, and toffee. Flavour is quite malty, with notes of toffee, bready malt and bready caramel. Light-bodied despite beige malty-heavy. Solid.

Bottle, 5.4% ABV. Consumed on one leg, naturally. Amber with a large off-white head that collapses. Smells very English - bread crust, mild citrus, pine needles, peach. Firm bread with shiny crusts, more berries than peach with a fine dry and moderately bitter finish. I liked this a lot.

500ml bottle into shaker. 5.4%. Listening to ’Station to Station’ as Bowie remembrance. Caramel, bitter fruit nose. Slightly hazy golden/bronze beer with solid white head. Steady fine carbonation. ’Golden years’,indeed! Surprisingly flat mouthfeel with subtle pine and grapefruit finish that lingers a while. Great beer, brilliant music.

Bottle. Almost clear gold with a puffy white head, Shy aroma of peach bubblegum , wheat crackers, tropical fruit lollies. Sweet with boiled lollies, very light spices, some glue. Just needed _something_ at the end.
