Not terribly exciting but drinkable with light hop bitterness in the finish. Light wth simple flavor, but enjoyable enough

Nice looking amber pour, as the description says it is bitter, but a faint bitter offset nicely by some citrus, faintly nutty, smooth finish. A must too have this on tap, a must.

Beautiful copper colour, Thin creamy head. Sweet malty caramel nose. Nice bitterness, a little metallic aftertaste. Easy to drink. I’ll have another round please.

Taste: 9/8 Bottle(?) Looks: Copper with a thin yeasty head. Aroma: Small hops fruit/citrus behind the yeast. Taste: A good ESB even if it is the export recipe. Like it more every time I have it. Nothing special, but a good quality beer for such high production.

Solid brew. Pours a nice deep amber/copper with a generous white head. Pleasant malty aroma Very refreshing on the palate with a crisp finish that has a nice touch of hops in the background to it. I think the best way to describe this one would be well-balanced
