Oct 10, 2007 draft- absolutely disgusting. For a beer of such low alcohol, how is it that all I tasted was fusels, and booze. Terrible. I paid 8 bucks for a pint of this in Vegas, only to leave 98 percent of the beer on the bar in protest.

Oct 4, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a nice golden-copper colour with a large beige head. The aroma is a little off, sort of bizarre, but I’ll just assume that’s the burned witches. The taste is more pleasant, nice caramel malts with a lot of nuttiness to it, followed by a dry, hoppy finish. Not a bad bitter, and I love the maketing gag.

Oct 2, 2007 500ml bottle.
Drunk from the bottle, haven’t got a clue what it looks like! Superb citrus and fruity hoppy aroma, very clean and crisp. Taste similar, but even hoppier - zingy ginger, for a start. Subtle darkly roasted malts as well as more grainy medium malts. Dry and long hoppy finish. Good English bitter.

Oct 1, 2007 500 ml bottle from Elephant & Castle. Amber pour with decent off white head. Some sweet fruity aromas. Flavors were decent bitter with just a touch of the fruit that came off the nose. Not too bad.

Sep 30, 2007 50cL bottle. Brilliant label. Pours a clear gold color with a white head. Very easy to drink but lacking in complexity and ESB character.

Sep 30, 2007 500 mL bottle. Aroma is of musty hops, with a bit of caramel toffee. Pours a clear amber. Taste is a bit thin and bitter, with an unfortunate slight metallic tinge. Finish is pretty clean. Overall not too bad, but wouldn’t be a normal purchase for me.

Sep 30, 2007 500 ml. Clear, golden-burnt orange with a huge head that lasts and leaves some crusty lace. Aroma is caramel apple. Taste is caramel apple with some buttery diacetyl flavoring slathered on top. Finishes with some sour and slightly grassy, bitter herbs. Palate is light, watery and flattish, with a dry finish. Not bad, but seems like a bitter, instead of a premium.

Sep 27, 2007 First and foremost... points for packaging.
Pours a dark coppery color with a large, milky off-white head that retreats slowly. Great fruity aroma and taste. Good bitter taste also.
1pt 0.9 oz. bottle.
