rosebud (47), Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA Mar 10, 2001 This is the best ESB I’ve ever had. I’ve had a lot of ESB, but none can compare to the hoppiness and aroma that this beer has, almost a religious experience. From the 1st to the last sip it remained powerful, almost like it was bottle conditioned, where some beers get that flat taste at the end, Fuller’s stayed true to itself. I hear its even better on tap if you get the chance to get it. mrbeakersalesman99 (17), USA Feb 24, 2001 Let’s face it...this is the BEST ESB on the market....find me a better one! Ageers99 (4), Athens, Ohio, USA does not count Aug 10, 2001 The best beer I have ever had Admiral (524), Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 3, 2001 This one gets another perfect rating, as a Definitive Good Beer. Served on handpump at the right temperature, it is an experience nobody who likes beer should miss. Good up-front malt, proper carbonation (or lack thereof), complex grassy hops; an all-around wonder of a beer. ravidesai (915), Bombay, India Jan 7, 2002 Excellent stuff. the classic ESB.
enjoy it cask-conditioned if you can. the bottled version is good but lacks the subtle tastes that make this a classic ESBFREAK (20), tallahassee, Florida, USA Nov 24, 2001 The classic English ESB, in my opinion. Try it on draft if you can find it. I would say I have never tasted a finer brew. Not quite as good in the bottle, but, still one of the best available.
A more well balanced ESB than most American versions, as some of the American ESB’s, tend to over do it slightly on the hops. STUARTMILLER (10), flushing, New York, USA Feb 12, 2002 The best bitter par none.
Winner of countless awards.
In bottle make sure you get it fresh. Check the best before date on back label. cascadehop (4), fort collins, Colorado, USA does not count Jan 28, 2004 A true classic. I am not sure how any one can knock this beer in any aspect. Maybe the best malt flavor and aroma that can be accomplished in an ale.
