This kind of beer comes from England and is considered to be the English beer heritage. In Britain they make around 250 kinds of the bitter beer. For the first wort hopping, we use Columbus hop, for the second English Fuggle, which is the most famous English hop and its pedigree goes back to 1875, and for the third hopping we use English hop Bramling Cross. For dry hopping we use Bramling Cross as well. Thanks to the English hops, the character of the aroma reminds of red currant and oranges. The hop aroma is less intense than with IPA beers. Our ESB is less zesty, which is typical for this kind of beer. Higher temperature (around 13 °C) helps the aroma and the taste to fully come out.

Bottle, 750 ml. Thanks Giggsy. Shared with JFK10000. Pours cloudy dark yellow, medium sized white head. Citrus, malt, hops. Easy drinkable and quite nice, but wouldn’t say it’s an ESB.

750ml bottle, thank you Ryan! Pours amber with a little white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, herbal, malt, light off-flavour. Flavour is balanced, medium malt profile with a decent bitter end. Medium to light body, medium to light carbonation. Ok.

From tap at Zly Casy with TO 30.09.15. Almost clear golden. Persistent and even off-white head and lacing. Fine hop aroma, with oranges and pale malt. Similar taste. Well balanced. High bitterness. Quaffable!

0.75 l bottle from Pivkupectvi Zly Casy. Hazy deep golden colour, mid-sized, creamy white head. Lovely hop aroma. Sweet and malty start, wow! really intensive good Czech malt. Lots of aromatic hops, quite spicy with a decent bitterness. Bitter-weet and very intensive.Although brewed with "foreign" hop varieties it retains a typical "Czech" flavour - this is a citrusy-fruity-tropcial beer which retains its Czech character. Probably one of the best Czech beers (and it’s very Czech despite the name!) I’ve tasted in 2013. Pure brilliance!

Appearance: Hazy deep golden color with a white head that leaves a nice lacing.
Aroma: Mild hoppy, mild fruity and very malty.
Palate: Medium body. Tad sweet, and a fine bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Citric, fruity and a heavy butterscotch and malty back.
Overall impression: Quite tasty ale, although it had way to much butterscotch on board.
Personal stats: Bottle from a trade with Cuso
