Fullers ESB (Bottle/Keg)

Probably my new favorite session. Pours with a large, rocky, off-white head covering a copper hued body. Good retention and spider lacing. Nice mild hop aroma with a little hops (my nose doesn’t seem to be too acurate tonight). Great taste, a very nice sipper. Creamy mouthfeel. I could drink this beer all afternoon.

(Bottle, Hamrestugan, Duved, Sweden, 9 March 2008) Dark amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange peel, marmalade, apricots, caramel and fresh hops. Malty, fruity taste with orange, caramel, toffee and generous amounts of citrussy, slightly dusty hops in the finish. Solid malt with sweetness throughout and lots of citrussy fruit. Very nice beer in almost perfect balance.

This is one of the finest British bottled beers I have had. Sweet, fruity and a hint of bitterness. The extra alcohol helps make this a delight to drink. Had this as a stomach-liner before a Celebration Ale. It was a wonderful contrast. Lady Crabapple, not usually of a favourable disposition towards this kind of thing, found it enjoyable.

Pours clear light brown, small head. Looks like whikey. Smells like dark sugar tastes the same. Sugar lingers in the aftertaste. Candy beer anyone?

dark caramal appearance with white head, flavor is very subtle with a well balanced malt and hop component, very nice

Great beer to have sold in the large bottles. It can more or less be the gold standard of ESB. Just slightly bitter with a good aroma of hops. Malt comes through nicely. The palate is watery and refreshing. An exceptional beer.

On draft at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured clear amber with fluffy off-white head. Caramel, toffee, sweet malt comprise the flavor. Silky palate. Well balanced ESB.

delicious brew. very nice aroma, excellent flavor for a bitter. definite citrus aspects- tastes like grapefruit and orange. great body, solid mouthfeel. overall extremely tasty.
