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.

Pours a deep orange color with an interesting white head. The aroma is malty with some slight earth notes as well. The taste is a mixture of sweetness and the solid bitter support of the beer. Finishes bitter and slightly dry. Great English bitter.

Bottled. Clear red/amber beer with a white head. The aroma is hoppy with floral and citrus hints. Good maltiness in the taste with a good and very nice bitetrness to balance it. The aftertaste is bitter and medium long and the body is strong for the style. This beer is not outstanding but it could be considered a little classic.

Rated 7/6/07. Medium copper color with a small off-white head and some lacing. Aroma was a nice blend of toasted malt, toffee, caramel, and bitter hops. Flavor was pretty much the same, with a medium dry finish. Nice balance of malts and hops on this one. Pretty nice bitter.

Pours a light amber color with a small head that stayed at about a quarter inch during the tasting. The lacing was thin and sticky on the sides of the English pint. The scent was mostly wheat, bitterness and hops. The taste was slightly flat with some hops, malt and a decent balance of bitterness and sweetness. The mouthfeel was nice and coating. This is a very solid bitter.
