[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A hazy golden amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; aroma of roasted barley and hedgerow hops; strong English traditional hop taste, fruity with a touch of peppery spice, and a smooth butterscotch body; then a dry finish with a lingering, satisfying, bitterness. A proper ESB.
