Spoke to bar girl who after I queried whether this was ESB immediately said no, its the right beer. Such a quick reply was very reassuring... Beer was perfectly acceptable, good condition just not the beer we expected. After such a great spread we were not going to make a fuss. Will monitor carefully after we come back from Tenerife in a couple of weeks. I am sure some other punters would have enjoyed this beer.

IanExcellent20 Mar 2010 Always a favourite here, but this was even better than I remembered. The fruit, the crystallised tangerine and touch of lime are just out of this world.
AndrewExcellent20 Mar 2010 Wow this is strong (for me anyway). Excellent pale brown strong bitter
BlairExcellent04 Mar 2010 Still the same complex, fruity strong bitter. Just a great beer.
