danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Sep 20, 2008 SDFOB-2008. Draft. Bitters overwhelm at first, but then reduce and hop flavors come out. OK beer. jeffc666 (1886), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Sep 26, 2007 Draft at pub. Too hoppy to be a true English bitter. More of an APA with some definite IPA leanings. Good stuff, but not really a bitter, at least as I know it. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Mar 22, 2003 This is reminiscent of a typical English bitter that lacks any exemplary character. Medium copper color, full nitrogenated head and a bitter hop aroma, but the body was bland and uninspired. beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Mar 6, 2003 Medium gold color. Aroma is malty. A medium/light bodied ESB. Malts are mild and slightly nutty. Hops are bitter, fruity and grapefruity. Slightly thin for an ESB. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter. joet (1699), Fulton, California, USA Aug 21, 2001 Bready nose, nitro head, semi-effervescent and bitter. Good mouthfeel.
