From recently unearthed notes, drank March 2016. Bottle from Morrisons, Sidcup. Amber pour with an off white head. Bitter malt aromas, bit of toffee and citrus coming through. Similar approach in the taste. Pretty average.

Keg @ Crown and Anchor, Manchester. Very dark with a creamy off-white head. It has smooth understated roasted malts that get better in its nose.

Same profile. pleasant ending hop bitterness. Mouth feel: medium minus body, average carbonation. Overall: pretty different. OK. Not my kind of ESB I'm afraid.

Bottle from local ASDA. Maple and a hint of nuts in the aroma. Pours a bright copper orange with a small and transient white head. Lots of sweet malts in the mouth and tons of maple, Bits of caramel, toffee and citrus hops too. But they don’t seem to gel together at all. Some slight bitterness in the finish. Disappointing to say the least.

500ml clear bottle from Morrisons. Gold pour small white head but no retention after a while. Slightly skunky aroma with bready malts, grapefruit, herbs. Taste is horribly skunked and unpleasant, but in the background there is biscuit malts, light fruits. Light to moderate body, carbonation is fine. Very poor.
