No expert on this style but this “mild” is too hoppy.

Wasn't sure which style this might go into, but it doesn't seem hoppy enough for a bitter, and not strong enough for a ESB, so I'll go with the same designation as Untappd.
The beer doesn't bring a lot of foam upwards, but enough to cover the poured beer initially. Clear copper amber, the nose is a mix of dry grain bread, some mineral earthiness, and a slight fruitiness which I can only describe as somewhat like fresh squeezed apple cider.
Taste actually starts with the earthy bitterness on a clean opening. The grain bread evolves out of this to where the beer actually goes from slightly bitter to malty in its main taste. There's a brief peek in by some fruitiness, but it doesn't get far before escaping my analysis for more specifics. There is a lingering mix of a husky grain and a bit of a dark tea bitterness that is joined by a hint of that mineral note from the nose.
This seems like a drier, thinner version of an ESB. I think the flavors are just bold enough to keep it from seeming watery, but others might disagree.
Edit: having this beer a month older (can dated 5/11 both reviews), and the malt is coming out more on a colder beer, closer to how it tasted a bit warm on my first try. I still suggest letting it get towards cellar temperature.
