Beltramelli (471), Campinas, Brazil Jul 28, 2008 A Fuller´s ESB (abreviação de Extra Special Bitter) é classificada, no BJCP, no mesmo estilo Premium Bitter da London Pride, mas as duas brejas guardam interessantes particularidades entre si. Esta aqui tem 5,9% de teor alcoólico, coloração âmbar intensa e creme branco pouco persistente e consistente. O aroma é perfumado de lúpulo, mas também contém presenças cítricas bem marcantes. No sabor, além do lúpulo, há malte-caramelo e toques amadeirados. Cerveja de final curto mas de conjunto equilibrado. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2008 Excellent. The aroma is of well balanced malts and hops. The appearance is a reddish-copper, with a thin white head. It’s flavor is a great balance of malts and hops, a nice mellow bite, but a nice taste of body and malt character as well. Their seems to be some zest spice as well, but extremely well footnoted. It’s super smooth, excellent choice. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of earthy hops, biscuity malt, maybe some bread notes and light citric hints. Sweetish malty flavor with caramel, some toasted bread, biscuits and light fruitiness and later more hoppy and bitter with faint grapefruit hints. Very pleasant. daniele (1642), Italy Jul 25, 2008 ambrata buona schiuma persistente note agrumate luppolate fruttate malto in bocca malto leggera tostaura caramello toffee ancora luppolo citrico buona amaro non astringente ne eccessivo buon corpo che la rende facile a ber ma non beverina il finale non e lunghissimo zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2009Taste 7/8 bottle best by 3/9. Looks: Nice bronze with a handful of bubbles in a yeasty pattern. Aroma: Yeasty sour. Caramel and malt. Taste: Nice sour and spice mix. Tea, mild citrus. Quite good. scooterc (13), Houston, Texas, USA Jul 21, 2008 A great ESB. The epitomy of a good English beer. Very malty with a little caramel and a little hops. Pretty flat. My favorite bitter. rustychiles (997), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jul 19, 2008 Pours a amber color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Flavor is caramel, citrus and hops. Goes down very smooth. Decent brew. Bigmmartin (366), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jul 17, 2008 Draft at "The Pub" in Dayton. A nice clear amber beer with a small white head. Not much in the way of aroma, nothing really stands out much. Flavor is decently malty with a little bit of hoppy bitterness. Not exactly "specially" bitter, but a good ESB.
