JediMindTricks (239), Hampton, Virginia, USA May 7, 2009 Pours amber with a small white head. Aromas of sweet fruits. Lots of hops and light alcohol finish dry and crisp...it is what it is... fidelis83 (707), Clinton, Iowa, USA May 5, 2009 Pours a crisp translucent medium amber with a 3-4 finger off white-tan head that has great retention and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, light caramel, sweet flowers, raw nuts, butterscotch, cinamon, mixed berries, grass, toffee and sweet hay. Flavor is toasted grain, burnt orange, grass, wild berries, toffee, apple blossoms and some light wood notes. Finish is fruity, nutty, slightly bitter and sweet caramel. Palate is medium thickness, neutral feel and a slightly dry finish. Good stuff, if it weren’t for the price tag ($11/6er) I would probably drink this alot. Joakgust (320), Stockholm, Sweden May 5, 2009 Bottle, 50cl - Amber colored beer with a small head. Aroma is malty with notes of caramel. Flavor is sweet with nice hints of nuts, caramel and fruits. Very nice full-bodied ESB. Nice! JohnBarleycorn (390), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 2, 2009 Can. Deep amber. Nice, rich body and very full flavoured, with malt and molasses dominating both aroma and flavour. Perfectly carbonated. Good stuff. Slipstream (734), USA May 1, 2009 Fullers say they have been doing this since 1645, and that their ESB is the world’s original and the one by which others are judged. Fizzy amber pour with an impressive, but fading, head. Average label. Spicy hop aroma that is pretty snappy for a British brew. Unfortunately it gets metallic after a while. Soft on the palate with a pleasantly spicy and mildly sweet flavor. There are touches of apple, cloves, and caramel in with the mellow malt and lively hops. A very good brew, and one of the better widely available English bottles. pintocb (508), Darsville, Georgia, USA Apr 29, 2009 caramel color. sweet hoppy aroma. dark fruits and grassy hops. nice. stronger than I would have thought. Tweety (337), Vancouver, Washington, USA Apr 28, 2009 I mean, what is there to say about this beer? This beer defines the style. Pleasantly citruisy with great malty body, just a spectacular all-around beer. SmallOne (79), Sweden Apr 26, 2009 Amber/copper in color with a thin head. Aroma of caramel. Taste of caramel and a grapelike citrus taste. Stays awhile in the mouth with a long bitter finish.
