Pours nicely with a solid white head that disappears quickly, aroma is okay but forgetable. The intial mouthfeel is extremely slick and then comes a hop bitterness with sourness, maybe citrus. Not worth buying again and nowhere near the quality of the ESB

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with a fizzy head. Malty aroma, almost soapy. The flavor has a nice malt profile with floral hops. Pretty good.

Sep 25, 2008 $1.79 11.2 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, rich ambery body with a full, frothy, white hear.
Smell: Sweet-smelling, nutty aroma of toffee-coated toasted biscuits with a background note of fruit.
Taste: Sweet, biscuit maltiness with a rising taste of dark, toasted toffee. Slight nuttiness. Pleasant cherry fruitiness perks up midway. Maybe a drop of vanilla. Subtly spicy, lightly earthy bitterness with a mild, mildly cleansing bitterness. Faint drying grassiness near the end. Still, the brew finishes on the sweet side.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A fairly tasty, easy-drinking English treat. Sure, it’s something to have pride in and sure, I’d have another (or four)!
