The national drink of England is an ale called "Bitter," designated as "Ordinary," "Best" and "Extra Special Bitter," or ESB, depending on its body and strength. Our version is coppery red and medium-bodied. Its tangy hop character is nicely balanced by the biscuit-like flavor of specially roasted barley malt.

From old tasting notes. Copper colored with a fine creamy beige head. Soft fruity toasted malt aroma. Wonderfully complex caramel malt flavor with herbal hop overtones. Sweet malt/hop finish is long and flavorful. Very true to that ESB style.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small creamy tan head. The aroma was sour malt with a hint of fruit. The flavor was sour and quite hoppy with only a trace amount of malt noticeable. Sourness grows and lingers on the finish. An ok ESB but nothing to write home about.
