Brew Notes

Rich mahogany in colour, ESB tempts with aromas of orange marmalade, balanced by soft malt toffee. The hops impart grassy, peppery notes alongside hints of citrus fruit – while the Pale Ale and Crystal malts bring distinctive biscuity flavours. A smooth, delicate bitterness lingers on the palate to give a supreme finish.

Good service but delivery sometimes erratic

I have no complaints about Fullers but DHL’s delivery is a bit patchy (fortunately Fullers customer service is exemplary when things go wrong).

ESB. Unsurpassed brilliance; Fuller’s at its finest.

What a joy it is to drink Fuller’s ESB. Only rivalled by another of their own, Golden Pride. But then Golden Pride isn’t readily available at the pump in their pubs, so ESB really is the stand alone beer for the discerning drinker. Other brewers can only dream of matching this quality of flavour balance and are deluded if they think they could surpass it. ESB, a seminal moment in Fuller’s brewing history indeed. The tasting notes are on the bottle if you’re interested, my palate tells me what I need to know; what you need to know is, if you’ve never sampled an ESB you really are missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures.

A BEER STEEPED IN LEGEND

By the time ESB launched in 1971, breweries had long been in the habit of producing an ‘ordinary’ bitter and a ‘special’. Our special was the irreplaceable London Pride so we broke the mould and added a pioneering third style: an extra special bitter, brewed to a stronger 5.5% ABV.

Since then, ESB has gone on to become a recognised beer style, imitated in breweries right across the world.
