Dobre coc oczekiwalem wiecej, zroznicowania w smaku nie bylo choc chmiel wyczuwalny. Bitter goryczkowy i dobry, koloru amber, ale jednak prawdziwe ESB z anglii smakuja o wiele lepiej. Mala byla tez pianka i wysycenie, ale to jednak porzadane w tym stylu.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2013 Head is medium, carbonation is very soft (typical for ESB). Aroma and taste is malty, light caramelly well balanced by hops (earthy and resinous). I found minimal ashy flavour in aftertaste (but it?s acceptable). Finish is well-bittered and very long. Real good and extremely drinkable ESB!

Bottle. A classic English bitter. Toasted, caramelly malt blended with grassy, earthy and floral hops, garnished with some esters resembling ripe red apples and to a lesser extent redcurrant. Hints of toffee as the beer warms. Hearty, full bodied, malty taste, slightly fruity flavour, a strong yet not overwhelming bitterness and a hoppy-fruity aftertaste. Flawless ESB, plain and simple.
