Good overall beer. A little bitter, medium after-taste, appealing dark amber to slight red color and light tan head.

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.

SLIGHTLY BITTER WITH A NICE COPPER COLOR. GOOD ON ITS OWN BUT GREAT TOPPED OF WITH GUINNESS. ITS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY STAPLE BEERS.

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

I’ve found this beer goes down very well, especially as the first beer at a session. Have tried it on tap in various pubs, solid flavour with the right amount of froth.

One of my favorite beers! Pours a dark amber with a nice white frothy head. Smells of malt. Tastes malty in the front with some hops in the back. I’m a huge fan, and keep this stuff around often!
