On tap at Lancaster location. The bartender told me this was an English pub style ale but it was such an estery mess. Smells and tastes of banana, clove , and caramel. Very similar to the last couple Iron Hill Lancaster beers that I have had. Is their temp control system on the fritz? I don’t know but i don’t want to drink any more of their beer until they get the problem sorted out.

Aug 25, 2008 Draft at Iron Hill, Lancaster...pours iced-tea in color, small off-white head...aroma was kind of light, some sweet fruit, malts, mild hops...flavor was much of the same but also had a trace of banana/clove...seems to be a common thing with Iron Hill...I tend to prefer their beers without it.

Jul 16, 2008 On tap at the Lancaster brewery. Pours amber into the glass, with a small suds cap that leaves soapy lace. The nose has some herbal, citrus and malts intermixing. Soft malts upfront, with a slightly metallic mid-palate. A definitive ESB light close on the bitter finish. Things come together well, but it was a bit reminiscent of the Vienna Red style offering from the same sampler. This brew did have a malty sweetness that was picked out all the way through the pull. Medium mouthfeel with ok integration of character.
