The first ESB is still broadly the best. Fullers makes an amazing ESB in both the cask and bottled categories.

Cask pull at the Red Lion, Uxbridge. Who knows how many times I’ve had this beer? A lot. It’s about as solid a version of the style as they come, with Fullers so reliable in this regard. Nice amber pour with a healthy froth. Soft malts and light fruit in the nose, along with the promise of fragrant, spicy hops. Well balanced in the flavor as you might think, with a bit more fruit and biscuit.
