buzzoven (150), Japan Jun 7, 2008 Very smooth, slightly creamy, slightly bitter. Smell of caramel and grass. Taste was somewhat bitter, but balanced. Exceptional.
Whiskeyjack (10), , Massachusetts, USA Oct 4, 2008 A sweet floral aroma. Clear amber red. Very minimal head. Mild hop flavor, some earth tones & a slight bitter aftertaste. An uncomplicated version of an ESB, lacks the potency I expect with extra special bitter. patricks110 (172), Alberta, Canada Oct 2, 2008 Aroma of nutst, hoppy hints, and sweet honey and fruit. Appearance is mediocre. A brigtht yellowish golden colour with a small head. Interesting flavour full of hops and sweetness. For a bitter, this is perfect for me. Overall, the best bitter i have had so far, and another great beer from fullers. Pinball (587), Allerød, Denmark Sep 30, 2008 aroma : nutty, raisins or plumes,
clear dark golden , thick small offwhite head,
flavor : nice bitter indeed, complicated and balanced, aftertaste also with good bitterness, i get lots and flavors, also hop flavors, the sensation from beginning to end is amazing - flavor changes a lot during a sip, and it’s all good. great brew, probably best english beer i ever had. ewestern (110), Ohio, USA Sep 29, 2008 Light amber/orangish in color with a very thin white head. Sweet hops aroma with a slightly malty twist to it and hints of honey. Malty hoppy spicey taste with a hint of honey and a slightly bitter finish. AndrewKScott (401), Lemont, Illinois, USA Sep 26, 2008 Nice amber pour, light hoppy aroma. Flavor is slightly bitter, with a nice hop profile. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty great after a long day.
