Malty, fruity and oh so sweet. A complex and evenly bodied beer with a soft hoppy flavour and feel that balances out the malts, while also letting them do their own thing. I thoroughly enjoyed this ESB.

Serving type: on-tap

Deep copper hue with reddish tones, straight up off white lace that sticks to the glass. Malty, fruity and mildly placed hop aroma. Mirror of aroma in the taste of fruity, malty and a hop presence that balances. A down right good n' solid ESB.

Bottled: unk
Pours a nice amber ale with some surface foam and a spotty lace. Smells of amber malts, some metal, some herbal hops, some hints of herbs. Really, overall nose is inoffensive and approachable with a hint of sweetness - as I believe an ESB should be, fine work Dick. Flavor hits with well steeped black tea, some sweet and English malts and a bit of herbal hops sans bitterness. Nice ESB flavor. Medium bodied with reserved carb and a semi wet finish. Nice beer. ESB's are one to feel good drinking and drinking and drinking...This has that. Unobtrusive and approachable - not the most unique, but that's what makes it good!
