I've been looking at ESB recipes, and because I like hops so much, I figured I'd give one a try.
Fast forward to last night: I'm at a friend's house, and notice he has Fuller's ESB in the fridge. He let's me try one. It was okay in the sense that I didn't particularly like or dislike it, but there was an overwhelming and unusual taste to it that I found somewhat off-putting.
Can anyone enlighten me with regards to the Fuller's ESB, and particularly what is used to arrive at that unique taste (so I can avoid it). I want to say it was an almost medicinal taste, but that might not be an entirely accurate way of describing it.
