Pours a nice amber color. Not much in the way of head. A little carbonation. Aroma is malty with a hint of hops. Kind of sweet smelling as well. A little alcohol on the nose? Flavor is good. Nice and smooth with just enough bitter kick at the end. The malt and hops play nicely together. Good beer. Nice ESB.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with an off white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a touch of hops. The flavor is sweet caramel/honey/toffee. This beer relies way to much on general malt sweetness, but doesn’t have much going on otherwise. A little too sweet for my tastes.

A sweet floral aroma. Clear amber red. Very minimal head. Mild hop flavor, some earth tones & a slight bitter aftertaste. An uncomplicated version of an ESB, lacks the potency I expect with extra special bitter.

Aroma of nutst, hoppy hints, and sweet honey and fruit. Appearance is mediocre. A brigtht yellowish golden colour with a small head. Interesting flavour full of hops and sweetness. For a bitter, this is perfect for me. Overall, the best bitter i have had so far, and another great beer from fullers.

aroma : nutty, raisins or plumes, clear dark golden , thick small offwhite head, flavor : nice bitter indeed, complicated and balanced, aftertaste also with good bitterness, i get lots and flavors, also hop flavors, the sensation from beginning to end is amazing - flavor changes a lot during a sip, and it’s all good. great brew, probably best english beer i ever had.
