Growler from the brewery. It pours deep brown with a small, bubbly beige head. The nose is earthy, roast, toast, light smoke, treacle and faint tang. The taste is soft, roasted malt, toast, treacle, light bitterness, earth and caramel with a dry finish. Medium body and lowish carbonation. Not a whole lot to it, but easy drinking anyhow. Fine.

Cask at the Ivy House. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The nose is fresh, doughy, lemon, orange peel and light sweetness. The taste is clean, crisp, bread, straw, citrus and apple-like sweetness with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Clean, citrussy and pretty straight-forward. Not a whole lot of depth, but easy drinking.

The taste is crisp, clean, toasty, lemon peel, bread and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Clean and easy-drinking but not a whole lot of character to it. So-so.

Bottle at home in London. Pours perfectly clear garnet-gold with a fine, creamy white head that quickly settles into a film. The nose holds lots of ripe berries, doughy brown bread, brown sugar. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted, bready malts, berries, plums, very mild leafy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with further lightly toasted brown bread, ripened fruits, especially berries, hints of caramel and leaves. Decent. Easy drinking ESB.
