Commercial Description:
Bottle & keg (USA); Pasteurised.
First brewed in 1971. Ingredients: Pale Ale malt, Crystal malt and Maize; Target, Challenger, Northdown and Goldings hops.
Brewed at 5.5% ABV in cask and 5.9% ABV in bottle, ESB is a true liquid legend, and should be savoured as such.
ESB has a wonderful rich mahogany appearance. Taking in the nose, the beer is bursting with cherry and orange, balanced by soft malty toffee and caramel notes. The flavour delivers everything you would expect from such a full-bodied ale. The unique blend of Northdown, Target, Challenger and Goldings hops imparts grassy, peppery notes on the tongue along with intense citrus fruit characters of grapefruits, oranges and lemons. The blend of Pale Ale and Crystal malts in the brew give a biscuity, toffee element to the beer. A smooth, mellow bitterness lingers on the palate to give a superbly satisfying finish.

Copper color. Aroma is typical of British brews. Taste is bitter (which is to be expected) and has a balmy coating feeling similar to Boddingtons.

Tap at the Londoner Addison TX. Dark gold filtered. Thick small white head. Nose is light malts. Taste is very malty with a minimal hop profile. Drinkable, sessionable and a little bitter. Overall a nice brew.

Bottle 15/10/09 Pours lite brown red with meduim head. Aroma of earthy floral hops with a toffee malt backgound. Flavour of toffee,with a caramel,roasty and slight chocolate malt complexity,balanced with a floral hop backgorund. More malt sweetness than bitterness,finishes slighty dry( mineral ). Overall a nice bitter/esb

Utsökt mahognyfärgad. Smaken är mild och rik på samma gång med ett fruktigt underrede och en air av lyx. Nästan sublim i sitt explosiva överflöd; ett ymnighetshorn av smakfullhet.

Being favorable to bitter, I hope that I am not too biased. Amber pour with a white head. Aroma of malt and slight hops. Tastes great. Alcohol isn’t noticeable. Nice lacing on the glass. Reminds me of the summers of 89 and 93 in England. Wish there where more brands of bitter available in my area. Should of bought more than a 6-er.
