There must be a holy ton of these bitters floating around England. It seems like every ale from there I drink is one of these. I enjoyed this, but it wasn’t accessable. Not a huge amount of aroma, a eggshell head that leaves some nice lacing. Flavors of iced tea, carmel and a watery, slightly dry finish. Well balanced. A decent and perhaps an every day beer. I think this these British ESBs/Premium Bitters are what our definition of average (good) beer should be.

Dec 15, 2009 Poured from a 12 oz bottle.The pour on this beer very unique pours like a amber cola with a fast rising head that is fizzy and vanishes quickly.Bubbles rise from the bottom making this clear amber beer like an age worthy champagne in appearanceTthink of a ESB that has carbonation.Flavors of hops,malts and caramel.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottled 50cl. Awful aroma of boiled vegetables, malt, compost, caramel, butter, apple and boiled milk. A lot of diacetyl showing up in the taste. Very low bitterness. Sweet and slightly sour with apple appearing. Unpleasant finish. Very dissapointing.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle. Gold, foamy white head. Fruit and citrus nose. Possibly some elderberries. Sweet malts with light balancing bitterness and a touch of sourness. Middle-of-the-road bottled bitter. (Oops, spoke too soon): by the end of the pint it seemed oversweet and rather less pleasant - reducing from 3.3 to 2.8.

Nov 26, 2009 Small pour from 12 oz. bottle. Tangy aroma features melon, dust, and lemon scents. Pours a light brass with very little, non-white head. Standard English bitter taste: Fruity with a tangy, lemon zest finish. Light body. Crisp in the palate. Boring and forgettable but not objectionable and in fact sessionable.

Nov 15, 2009 Amber color in the glass. Somewhat fruity aroma. Light, a little metallic. Pretty average. Nothing too bad, nothing too amazing either.

Nov 13, 2009 Clear gold/copper pour with white head. Mostly malt, caramel, a bit of biscuits, citrus, and a small amount of hops. Pretty standard beer, not very interesting.
