Beer styles aside, I think this is a great beer. I drink alot of west coast hopped beers, so its nice to drink a balanced english ale. I will be buying a few more of these. I just wish it was it was cheaper, and could session this all summer long.

Drinking a pint of trafalgar esb. Nice beer. Certainly english in malt and yeast character, but the hops have a distinct american citrus element.
