Bottle on 712 heading South, thanks to Timmy, 26/02/23. Clear golden with a just off white crown. Nose is pale malts, toasted grains, hint of orange, hedgerow. Taste comprises toasted grains, hint of melon, grass, herb, faint orange, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with modest hop bitterness. Passable pale ... lacks flavour and hop presence.

Black beer, decent head. Malty aroma with a little chocolate. Flavour has toasty malt, chocolate, some vanilla. Simple flavours but a decent heft to it for the strength and a nice body. Very decent indeed.

Clear golden colour with lasting fluffy head. There's a nice hop profile with a balance of piney base notes, well rounded floral notes and a lighter citrus peel element.

Very dark brown with lasting head. Aroma and flavour are packed with bitter, heavily roasted malts. Quite smoky. Long lasting bitter finish.

Clear brown colour with thin head. This is a great example of an ESB. Lots of malty notes. Brown rye bread and a sweet element of raisin. Slight roasted bitterness.
