Tasting Notes
Fairly sweet, undertones of apple with a nice earthy bite from the hops
Similar to Fuller's ESB, hops are a bit different. Fairly sweet without being too malty with enough hop bitterness and flavor to complement. I think the only thing i might change is upping the bitterness next time. Highly recommend.
