The beer hunter's great beer guide indicates that, in London, E.S.B. is a Fuller's brand name rather than a style. If this is true, then this is the beer to compare others to, rather than the other way around. It is, arguably, the original and this beer is no less than a world classic. Appearance - perfect. Smell - malty, clean hop nose. Taste - just like it should. It is an excellent balance of ingredients including the amount of carbonation. I imagine that the only way to improve on this beer is to get it in London, fresh.









Great strong malty body , deep red in colour like a charged up London pride. One of the best examples of great English ale



An exceptional English dark ale, with a delicious solid body taste. Full flavor and a good balance sublime bitterness bite. As an American, I prefer this brew chilled in a ice mug.. Than the British room temp preference serving. Cheers, from sunny Southern California USA! 9/21/13



Not as bitter as the name suggests, great balance, very smooth, excellent beer
