Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. This fella quite liderally exploded out of the traps, a nice looking pallid yet hazy gold with a big old white head. Yeasty aroma with some citrus and hop for good measure. Well rounded hop bitterness to the flavour that again had citrus notes and plenty to recommend it. Very drinkable and well worth a look.

750ml bottle. pours a crystal clear gold under a large creamy white head. bottle under lots of pressure. very effervescent appearance to this one. lots of speedy bubbles. fresh grassy aroma with hints of floral and fresh picked green herbs. the flavor very hoppy with notes of apple juice and white grape juice. highly carbonated and dry. an all around average beer. nice to drink but i probably won’t seek it out again. doesn’t resemble an ESB at all.

On tap at The Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Amber with fizzed white head. Sweet and carbonated beer, absolutely nothing like an ESB. Poor stuff.

Bottle. Blonde, pours a huge head. Citrusaroma. Sharp citrus flavor, but also malty. The alcohol is well hidden. The hops really reveal themselves in the aftertaste. Well balanced, delicious beer.

Clear blond body. Slightly off-white, rocky head. Great looks. Aroma of fresh (german) hops, citrus, bit caramel malts, grapefruit. Quite subtle aroma but nice. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour with a sharp bitterness.
