ESB? I increasingly find that the American version of the ESB is somewhat removed from what I consider to be a true English Bitter – this was another example of that divide.

Way too pale to fall into my version of the style, this smelled, drank and looked like a watered down version of an English bitter. It tasted significantly better, but still was bland and lack punch.

A dry beer, with some balance, but just rather insipid.
