| Brewer's Description: | Fuller's ESB is the famous winner of many awards around the world; bursting with powerful malt and hop flavors, it is the world's original and the one by which others are judged! The Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, London, has been brewing fine ales since 1654. The Fuller, Smith & Turner partnership, dating back to 1845, brews an excellent range of award winning ales, many of which are available in the USA, including London Pride Pale Ale and the world's original ESB. |
| Appearance: | Dark amber. Does not evolve many bubbles at all while just sitting in a glass. Had about 1 inch of head when poured. Retained head fairly well. Bubles evolve when drinking. |
| Aroma: | Having trouble picking out any distinct smells. Definitely smells like an amber beer, but that's about it. |
| Taste: | This is another beer that has more aftertaste than anything. A little bitter for my taste, but not the worst. Not as good as Old Speckled Hen. |
| Mouth Feel: | This does have a good feel. Carbonation releases in mouth and provides just the right bite. Afterwards, it's smooth. |
| Drinkability: | Overall, I would prefer an Old Speckled Hen or Anchor Steam/Liberty. This is not bad, I just prefer others. |
| Score: | 4 / 10 |
