Bottle at home. This is a bitter beer with a lot of different flavors. A very English bitter. Watery and a bit fruity.

500ml bottle. Pours a ruby red. Lifeless, oversweet caramely best bitter. Doesn’t feel at all fresh. Poor.

Bottle. Pours amber with a off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with light fruit, a hint of hops and a touch of caramel. Flavor is sweet malts, fruit, toffee and a bit of caramel with a little bitterness and a dry finish.

Amber orange with thin white head. Tiny nose is flowery. Thin, watered down mouthfeel. Light all around, some sweet hints of malt, slightly flowery, bitter finish. Way too light!

Clear coppery hue, decent head formation. Strong malt aroma, braedy, dark fruits. Mild palate, slight caramel and burnt raisin bread. Dry in the finish.

Bottle (in NZ), a clear amber with a creamy white head. A standard ESB earthy malt aroma, only hints of caramal and fruit. More roasted malt character on the palate, nutty, with quite a bit of caramal sweetness. Moderate bitterness in the finish

500 ml. Clear copper with a lasting half-inch of creamy foam and Jack Frost all over the glass. Typical earthy-spiced caramel apple aroma. Initial flavor follows the aroma with slightly more apple and some oak. Finish turns to a pleasantly bitter toasted pecan nut and oak wood. Light-medium body is smooth and soft, with some hop tingle and a nice dry finish.
