Pours a foamy fizzy 1 finger head with fair retention, crystal clear amber tan color, messy lacing
Nose brings mild sweet malts, fruity esters, some toasted mild biscuity malts, cereal, hint of caramel, herbal mild earthy grass hops, typical ESB hops
Taste starts with more mild sweet malt, caramel notes, toasted grainy, little bread crust, fair herbal earthy hops, a touch leafy grassy, again typical UK style ESB hops, light bitterness up front, some fruity esters in the back, drier finish with a bit more hop bitterness
Mouth is med to a bit fuller bod, med to lower carb
Overall pretty good on the style, a bit lighter than some of the best out there but still a nice ESB

Ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah! What a fantastic ESB!
I love and miss drinking English ales. They are not distributed much in my current area. Boy, was this a fantastic find!
Color: extremely rich gold, not quite amber, very clear.
Nose: nutty, malty but in a happy way
Taste: OMG. Rich yet smooth, satisfying yet elegant. Nutty, mildly malty, very English.
Body: rubenesque yet sexy
WORTHY!
