Jan 2, 2010 DRAFT HAND PUMP: Creamy white nitro head, clear orange body, flat low-carbonation body, caramel butterscotch flavor, mild ester fruitiness, evenly dispersed hop bitters, balanced, a bit thin due to the low carbonation and thin malt body, could use a little more hop edge and dryness to make this a thirst quencher

Dec 29, 2009 Got this in an international beer assortment for Christmas. Surprisingly tasty to be honest. I was getting a Coors/Budweiser vibe from the can it came in, and was pleasantly surprised. The smell is a little offputting as it comes off cheap. The appearance is impressive, especially since little bubbles appear on the outside of my glass making it look like speckles (cute, I know). Anyway, flavor is okay there’s a strange fruitiness present that I can’t quite place (maybe banana or a berry), and a pretty bitter finish (not really a hops bitter, but not acrid booze bitter either). It’s definitely malty and yeasty, which unfortunately is not something I particularly enjoy, but I won’t hold it against it. In any case, this is a much better alternative to an American macro and if this is the UK version of Budweiser/Coors then us Yanks have to step up our game.

Dec 29, 2009 Pours a beauty: red gold with a guinness like head and lacing. Aroma is yeast, grapes, apples and bread. Flavor is flat bitter. Palate is thin, boring and lacks character. Overall, this a typical ESB where its dry and ashy.
