Day 74 - Fuller's ESB

Ah, a true classic Bristish ale. Dark marigold in color, subtle hops background complimenting a malty sweet base. It's not a palie, but extremely polished and a very tasty alternative. Almost like a comfort beer. This one would be worth having a few or 6 pack around for the times when you just want to relax, not really focus on your beer but still have flavor in the mix.


Specs:

Full Name: Fuller's ESP
Brewed By: The Griffin Brewery
From: Britain
ABV: 5.9%



It claims to be the world's original ale, and the brewery going since 1654. I guess with that much practice, they should get it right. It's not giving my top 3 a real challenge, but of the 74 so far, it might be top 10. This one could easily wash down those not so delicious meat pies they eat over there..... ;>) (I don't think I have any Brits reading this.)
