Bottle. Filtered and pasteurised. "Adnams Explorer is a light and refreshing blonde beer, with some citrus notes and grapefruit aromas. Fantastic served chilled. Adnams Explorer captures the spirit of discovery by blending Chinook and Columbus hops from the New World. The best in traditional brewing with a contemporary edge."

Tried at a bar. Pours a clear amber-hued gold with a snow white generous cap that sticks around and laces well. Lots of hops in the aroma, some grassy malts, and notes of citrus. Flavour is typical of a British bitter with loads of toffee and citrus in the finish.

Somewhat hazy golden yellow with white lacing foam head. Aroma is pretty sweet barley. taste is surprisingly bitter, but still sweet tones present, orange. Long bitter aftertaste. (Moscow 201302)

I had the chance to try this side by side with one of the other Adnam's ESBs, the Broadside. I felt that the Explorer was the weaker of the two. The Explorer is a golden coloured beer with a thin whitish head. The aroma was rather skunky - not a lot of malt, hops, or yeast to speak of. The flavour was similarly bad.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hoppy, flowery and quite sweetish. Flavour is grassy malts with hoppy hints. Watery. Weird thing that a 5.5% ESB can be this boring. 4 3 4 4 4.
Cask@The George (4.3 %). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is spices, wood, fruits, some mild dry tea leafs as well. Flavour is grass, caramel, fruits and also flowery hops. Ends quite bitter. Standard. 6 6 6 6 6 -

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 5.5%. Brewed with American Chinook and Columbus hops. Golden colour, large foamy head. Pleasant hoppy aroma and flavour, both with notes of citrus and dry white wine. Bitter finish. Okay beer, but I’d like the malts to come through too.
