Silly Billy

The Baby Goat in Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪

Bitter - ESB / Strong Bitter Regular

Score

6.40

ABV: 4.8%

IBU: 27

Ticks: 6

The Extra Special Bitter hails from England, and is one for the ale lovers. Ales can be an acquired taste, so we’ve spent some time to make the ESB is a real crowd-pleaser.
Silly Billy has rich malty flavours and light, earthy hoppy aromas from three English hop varieties. And don’t be fooled by the name, it has only a slight bitterness and, importantly, more fizz than your typical ale. Give it a try.

Draught at BG House: what the fuck is this. Clear gold. Not an ESB. What the fuck. it would be fine if it was really good, but this was not.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Starts mild, malty, spicy. Modest dry. Mild bitter background. Notes of some spices. Fruity notes of lemon. Finish well balanced. Nice!

0,33 l bottle. Cloudy orange golden in the glass, small white head. Sweet fruity caramel on the nose. Taste has an increasing dry bitterness, fruity background, yeasty, pale grain. Herbal hints. Not bad.
