PRANCING PONY Extra Special Bitter 5% – A pint of peace before the storm.
You can drink your fancy ales, but the true brew for the brave and the faithful travellers comes from The Prancing Pony!
The Pony in Bree is more than an inn, it’s the pub of Middle-earth, where every road crosses and every great story begins. Let your story start here, among fellow wanderers, hobbits, dwarves, secrets, songs and pints that somehow never stay empty for long.
This ESB is a true fireside companion: golden, caramel and crystal malts provide subtle sweetness and gentle bitterness. Warm, honest, and a little rustic. A classic English character, like a night in Bree before adventure finds you.

Pours cloudy, pale peach with thin to no head.
Nose is faint, maybe some bitterness and nutty notes.
Flavor is definitely bitter, malty, and some roastedness.
Medium carbonation, slight bitter and fruity finish.

Nézzük a fiúk új sorozat darabját. 0.33 can, a doboz jól néz ki, a LOTR sorozatba illik. A sör szép borostyán, szüretlen, nagy laza fehér habbal. Maláta és felső erjesztésű élesztő érződik, kis kekszesség, semmi extra illat, de nem rossz. Extra bitter: valóban van benne keserűség, de számomra picit dohos, élesztős mellékíze volt, ami együtt az alap, aroma Komló nélküli keserűséggel nem volt olyan ütős. Mármint lehet hogy van benne aroma komló, nem olvastam utána, de a keserűség valahogy nekem picit itt olyan mosószeres lett. Pedig bitter párti vagyok. Attól természetesen iható, nincs vele baj :)
