Brownish brown body browningly browning a semi-brown foam on top. Smells of brown malts. Tastes of brown grain with a hint of hops. A really weak effort at an ESB, but hey - at least it's brown.

Soft coppery body and okay foam, very vague hops on the nose. Flavour is mostly malt and a hint of hops. Full enough on the mouth. Way too malty even for an old school IPA, and actually really hard to differentiate from their ESB. When it's a total crapshoot and even the waitress can't tell (and even brings over an extra sample of the ESB so you can make sure), well.....

Middling medium gold body and okay foam, soft standard malt and hop mix. Flavour is more hops and malts mixed in such a way that someone read a recipe book correctly. Full enough on the mouth. Drinkable but very standard.

Whiteish yellow and a bit of foam, big lemon on the nose. The flavour can't decide between its lemon and malt origins but does offer a mostly dry finish. Not bad, simple, useful for the elderly English expats that frequent this place.

Yellow body and a bit of white foam, sweet hop and grain notes on the nose. Flavour is muddy malt and chewy hops, sugar. Medium finish. Awkward but drinkable since it's served so cold.

Draft - Sweet corn bread and light coriander. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Tea leaf notes, soft grains and a long slick finish. Not bad.

On tap. Pours a very cloudy yellow with light head. Aromas of coriander, citrus and light wheat. Strong flavors of fresh coriander. After that dies down there is a citrus-y fruitiness and a little earthy wheat. Refreshing but long on coriander.

On cask at Sailor Hagar's, pours an opaque dark orange amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out toasted English malt, some stone fruits, and candied notes. Flavour brings out similar notes, with stone fruits, English malts and a very astringent hoppy finish. Drinkable enough, but very rough and tastes haphazardly thrown together. Gets more repulsive the more you drink.

On cask at Sailor Hagar's, pours a clear amber with a medium bubbly beige head. Aroma is quite medicinally sweet, with artificial sweetness and cough syrup. Flavour is thankfully better, but still bringing out some medicinal notes, sour toffee, and some English malt. Is tho how it's supposed to taste? Not good at all.

On tap at Sailor Hagar's, pours an opaque dark orange with a medium beige head. Nose brings out medium strength hops, some metallic notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is quite astringent, with a very harsh hop bitterness dominating everything. Nothing refined or pleasant about this. A little abrasive.
