Based after the great English style this beers’ characteristically deep amber colour is derived from generous amounts of Hugh Bairds Crystalized barley that also gives it a smooth caramel toffee flavour that is balanced with generous amount of whole leaf hop imported from East Kent.

    Growler from the brewpub. Pours a hazy amber colour with a nice off-white head that stays long and gives out great lacing. Beautiful nose of grainy cereals and caramel to balance things. Medium-bodied with a oily mouthfeel. The hop shows up in the taste, creating a little bitterness over the caramel malt with some grass. The grain and fruit come out in the finish. I seem to prefer this ESB to the Mill Street Father John's one.

    Tried this one as a small 6oz. taster, along with a few others at the brewpub. Has a very thin, almsot non existant amount of head, which goes away quickly. Has a dark amber/coppery appearance. Aromas of light malts and grains. Also herbal type hops. Flavours are mainly light roasted malts and nuts, somewhat wheaty and grainy, also grassy hops. Mouthfeel is slightly tingly, a little bit bitter and watery. Pretty good, well balanced medium bodied beer.
