an Extra Strong Bitter from Finland - Huvila ESB
Beer review written by Dominik Jais on

Review
ESB stands for Extra Strong Bitter and is a brand name in the UK. That’s why I’m referring to Extra Strong Bitter and don’t use the abbreviation. The first Extra Strong Bitter I had is the one I’m writing about. It’s called Huvila E.S.B., which comes from Finland and has an alcohol content of 5.2 %… Full review only available for loged in users.Review points
