Huh. So that's why it's very good! My world can return to its axis now.

This is excellent! It has an English nose but the hop flavours incline more to the U.S. side. I just tasted Fuller ESB in London and this is quite similar except more APA-oriented. Still, there are some estery and dextrinous notes that are very English.

It is clean and fresh in taste, no off-flavours, no wrong notes. On cask this would be superb, in the bottle (filtered) it is, as I said, excellent. From a much-improved brewery.
