Fuller's ESB

What’s not to like about ESB?? I happened to have the good fortune of getting a top pint of this at a little pub of Brick Lane called ‘The Pride of Spitalfield” which is a tiny little grimy east end boozer. Despite the fact that I though I was going to get lynched because I was dressed rather nicely (having come from work) and wasn’t wearing any chav-wear this pub is OK. I proclaimed loudly that I am only here for the beer and the mob settled down a bit! ESB is a sensational beer and alongside Fuller’s London Porter round off the flagship for the Fuller’s brewery. It’s a strong beer at 5.9% and will catch up with you if you endeavour to take it on as a session beer. It is exceptionally well balanced with a strong malty profile which doesn’t overpower the firm bitterness and subtle fruitiness of the beer. Anyway I won’t write too much as I’m sure I will have more than a few of these over the course of the future!
