A light cloudy amber pour. Minimal head. Fruity light flavor. Medium body. Minimal carbonation. A tasty beer worth trying again

On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. This ESB surprised the heck out of me. It poured a reddish-brown with a great aroma of plum/ nectarine with lots of sugary red apple flavor and a managable degree of sour notes. Very surprising. Good beer.

Bottle from Sams in Chicago. Pours a red/brown body with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet fruits, caramel and some sourness. The taste is quite nice; a smooth full grape and berry flavor with some mild bitter hops, some toffee and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Quite good, full flavored.

Pours a decent brown color with not much head. Aroma is a little flat. Some malt, some fruit, nothing special. Flavor is more of the same. Malt, fruit, some hops, but overall just a little flat. Decent session beer, but even the ABV is a little high for that.

A dark amber color with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet with toffee and some dried fruit. A little sweet and not much carbonation. Not bad.
