An excellent offering from a brewery with great promise. More american ESB like than amber, but would please Amber drinkers who like a little less sugar component for a balanced drier finish that lasts, while other harmonious flavours linger wonderfully. A top notch brew!

355ml can - some uplifting prose on the label about the origins of this one's name.

This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat silky tan head, which leaves some random splotchy lace around the glass as it very slowly sinks out of sight.

It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, a hint of free-range char, baked apples and pears, a gentle stoniness, and some understated earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, subtle ashy notes, some mixed domestic pome and citrus fruitiness, wet rocks, and more tame leafy, weedy, and dried-hay hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a very thin airy creaminess seeping in once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt really in this for the long haul, it would seem.

Overall - this is a rather pleasant and quaffable version of the style, with strong ESB leanings, which makes it more ESB-like than most 'examples' of that style that I've had in recent memory. Anyways, worthy of checking out, even if you don't really feel that you require protection when way up North, eh?
