CitySlicker (6), Switzerland does not count Aug 4, 2007 ESB iz MEANT FOR SESSIONS, NO?I like like to session on duvel or Jagermeister so its not like a 5.9% beer waz scary, but the alcohol creaps up on you when you’re "enyoying" those flavours:)Tastes like caramel butter and apple ! I could gladly drink a lot of Fullers esb! blklab2007 (942), Connecticut, USA Aug 3, 2007 bottle, copper in color, light on aroma and lightly carbinated. there is some bitter hops bite as well as tastes of malts and alcohol. cbeers21 (563), Miami, Florida, USA Aug 3, 2007 Nice copper color with smaller head. Sugary caramel malts aromas are there as well as a subtle hoppy pine scent. Piney hoppy flavors are balanced well by roasted malts - Chocolate, caramel and vanilla. A well bodied, drinkable brew which leaves a lasting, light bitter finish. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA Jul 29, 2007 16.9 good looking amber colored ale pours with a light tan frothy head. fruity nose with apricot and peach blending with a pleasant grainy aroma and a touch of cola. rich creamy and satisfying. nice full palate and well structured caramel malt tones with a smooth exit into a lovely bitter finish that doesn’t overpower. Bailz316 (221), Mendham, New Jersey, USA Jul 28, 2007 Pours a nice amber with minimal head. Malty. Bitter finish. Similar to Bass. A bit overrated in my book. yesyouam (587), Fairport, New York, USA Jul 24, 2007 Fuller’s ESB is a crystal-clear solid amber ale, atop which sits a rich, frothy, cream-colored head that leaves excellent lacing. The aroma is of toasted malt and fiberous, herbal hops are abound. In the mouth, it’s medium bodied and soft, perhaps a bit acidic. The flavor exhibits great balance. The hops are strong and bitter like rosemary. There is ample body to support that. The bitter finish is dry and doesn’t quench any thirst. A definitive ESB. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Jul 21, 2007 500 ML bottle. Golden amber with foamy white head. Good hoppy aroma. Sweet malty taste with a decent hoppy finish. merlin48 (509), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA Jul 19, 2007 Clear copper body topped by a small offwhite head that leaves patchy lacing. Aroma is toasty malt, caramel, toffee, and herbal and floral British hops. Taste is nicely balanced between the toffee and toasted maltiness and herbal bittering hops. Notes of fruity pear and some mineral water add a nice depth. One of the world’s best all purpose beers here and one of my perennial favorites.
