Mar 18, 2006 500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Amber colour with thin white head. Nice hop and some goodish malt on the aroma. Toffee and some coffee. Just not as good as on draught. Boy that pasteurisation/filtration, it just strips all the flavour out and leaves a metallic feel in the mouth

Mar 8, 2006 Pretty tasty ESB. Caramelly sweet crystal malt and a little toastiness. Hops are a little grassy, thick bitter finish. Creamy mouthfeel, full bodied.

Mar 5, 2006 Can. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head that fades quickly. Light, slightly sweet aroma. Taste is again slightly sweet, along with a light but balanced offering of hops and malt. Somewhat watery finish.

Mar 5, 2006 Transluscent, orangey amber in color with an almost non-existent head. Aroma is fruity in malt and fermentation with rich, soft toffee that is deeply satisfying. Flavor is soft and balanced. There is a touch of everything from the aroma with some nice woody, English hops and quite possibly some oxidized, rubber-band character that is the only flaw to me. The subtle sweetness of caramel malts coupled with a dry, biscuit malt underpinning is a nice touch to the flavor profile. Almost perfect except for the rubberband flavor.

Feb 16, 2006 Bottle. Poured a copper color with a large off-white head that diminished slowly and had good lacing. Well balanced sweet malt and hop aroma. Medium body with a thin texture. Good malt and hop spice flavor with a moderate finish. Drinkable brew.

Feb 15, 2006 Half-liter can from <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/downers-gr Sam’s Wines, Downers Grove. Nice deep copper colored pour, light tan head, about half an inch in a shaker. Good fresh beer smell, even a note of fresh hops. Nice caramel sweetness, plentiful but absolutely not cloying. As I said, hops taste very fresh and grassy, nicely balanced. For a force carbonated can, it does a slight approximation of an English draught in the slightly "watery" mouthfeel. Should have let this one warm up a little bit, perhaps.
