On-tap @ Untied Brewing Co. in New Providence, NJ.
16 oz serving. Medium amber color with excellent clarity. Very small white head that dissipated to a thin ring along the edges of the glass.
Aroma is pleasant with sweet grainy malt and a combination of earthy/fruity hops.
Unfortunately, it falls apart in the flavor and feel. Extremely grainy malt and not in an enjoyable way. The body is very thin and the carbonation is too high for a Bitter. Prickly mouthfeel with a very dry finish.
Honestly, I didn't even feel like finishing my pint. Tasted more like an over-attenuated Vienna lager than a classic British Bitter. Should have just spent the money on a 4-pack of Fuller's.

16 oz can. Pours amber with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head, nice lacing and lively carbonation. Aroma is of caramel malt, cherries and piney hops. Body is medium and crisp. Earthy hops, caramel malt and ripe fruit fill the mouth. Finish is long and bitter. Overall it is a nice brew.

A: amber caramel color with a 1 finger tan head
S: sweet caramel, grains, sweet berries and fig
T: grains, sweet grains, generic sweet berries, and caramel
M: medium mouthfeel with low carbonation
O: an average ESB. A little too grainy, and it could use a little more sweetness. Not great, but you could drink a few
