ESB

E.S.B. stands for Extra Special Bitter, a bitter is essentially a draft pale ale. In England this style varies in color, strength and flavor due to local tastes, the most common of which is Fuller's E.S.B. Although made from similar ingredients to a India Pale Ale, an E.S.B., or bitter is in fact smoother and less bitter. A malty sweet body balances nicely with a hoppy finish making this beer truly a session ale.
