Draft. Amber red color with white head. Says ESB, but reminded me more of a lesser killians. Nothing important to note.

Draft. Since shows retired, I may have try one more time. Dark amber with medium white head. Aroma and flavor was hoppy with a short sweet finish. Below average for style.

Gold with a slight haze. Slightly fruity, hoppy aroma. Soft, citrusy taste with a pleasant hop bite. A little on the watery side for me.

Golden amber when poured with small white head of tiny bubbles. Lacing stays nicely. Has a little sweet hoppy smell with malt. Same goes for the taste. It has a malty flavor with some hops.

Poured amber with a small fizzy off-white head. Aroma of some hops, rather thin. Taste is primarily hops but not anything interesting or exciting going on here. Very little malt backbone. Overall an average bitter beer, may actually be inferior to Bass Ale.

I was pretty satisfied with this beer. Well balance of malt and hops. Not my favorite of this style, but not my worst.

Tap at firewaters, Hackensack. Nitro? Thats wierd. Clear golden, tanish head. Small bubbles and nitro like head, that is. Grainy aroma. British malty flavor. Light hops. Not bad, but the nitro brings out a strange flavor.

This beer was pretty gross. Tasted like budweiser with fruit. I gave it an 8 for impression because I liked the name.
