Supplier: Beer52
So Natural Selection Brewing is a company that operates from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. It was founded in 2011 by students doing the MSc in Brewing and Distilling (a course that I very nearly ended up doing two years back). I think it is then passed down to the next set of students each year. This is one of this allocation's flagship beer, it is a Extra Special Bitter (ESB) but made with loads of American hops. I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: A light copper colour with an off-white head that dissipates quickly.
Aroma: Toffee malt with hints of orange zest. Not a particularly strong nose.
Flavour: Just like the nose; the flavours are toffee, almost like barley sweets, and hints of orange zest.
Body: A medium body but a little flat and the fizz that is there is a little rough.
Aftertaste: Just a sweet background from the malts.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, probably would have been better cold, nice but that's it.
Price Range: Another from the box 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml bottle; a OK price but I wouldn't be my first choice.
Food Pairings: A richer meat such as lamb, just as a roast with some roast veggies.
