On Tap at the Treaty of Commerce, Lincoln. Ruby to black brown colour with a thick tan head. Aroma has deep roasted malts and fruit. Taste is slight crisp almost sour to big roasted malty bitter. Full body.

Bottle. Clear ruby body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of wood and syrup. Flavour of toffee and spices. Thin body with a watery texture. Light fizz. Simple and a bit dull.

Clear amber, thick white head. Light, malty fruit scent. Flavour is sweet, fruity malt and a hint of bitter hop. Bit watery in body and aftertaste but as this sort of bitter goes it’s serviceable.

Cask in Crown and Anchor, Welby. Clear copper colour with a tight white head. Slight fruity aroma, flavour is malty sweet, a bit woody. Nothing special

A very good ESB. Lots of malt and caramel and overall very pleasant. It was a very smooth beer and almost Belgian from the taste of the caramel.

Bottle: Clear amber coloured with a ruby sheen, stable off-white foamy layer; fruity and mildly hoppy nose with an illusion of breadcrusts in the background; mild bitter-sweet flavour, pretty light bodied, but pretty smooth; mildly lingering fruity and slightly (red-)vinous finish with a soft english hoppy "tail". No reason to get excited, just a pleasant anglo-saxon ale...

Bottle at home. Pours golden orange, nose is sugary orange, cross between tango and a shandy, taste is sweet, juicy orange, sugary, sickly.

Tried at the Nottingham Beer Festival 2016. Reddish amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, malty and caramel. Taste light sweet.
