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.

Fra fat på Kulovy Blesk, Praha 24 Okt 12. Gyldenbrun. Litt uklar. OK tett skum som varer. Forsiktig grapefruktaroma. Smaken litt fruktig. Svakt tørr syrlig ettersmak. Bra - men ingen typisk ESB.

On draught(@Zubatý Pes, Vršovice): Deep golden, a bit unclear, stable and lacy off-white head, peppery-aromatic grapeffuity-hoppy nose, a small amount of sweet pale malt is still detectable; moderate bitter -sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering hoppy-malty finish, almost caramelly traces detectable. What a delicious brew…
