Most of my life I've much preferred malty and darker beers - porters, bocks, English brown ales. Lately I've been craving a beer with a bit more hops to it. My searching through styles has led me to believe I will be happy with an ESB.

Based on this ( I know its not much) could you recommend a recipe for me? Thanks
 
If you make an English bitter, don't use caramel malts.

98% MO
1% Aromatic
1% Black patent

Nugget .5oz 14% 60min
EKG .75oz 5% 15min
EKG .75oz 5% 10min
Nugget .5oz 14% 5min

Burton Ale WLP023 - ferment at 68F

IMO, it works...
 
Not using crystal malts is a fairly good suggestion to start. I'd go for 5-10% flaked maize as well to keep the body lighter and not too malty. Amber malt is a good alternative (~5%) for some nuttiness. If you want some caramel flavour the best way is to use invert sugar #2. Boiling flavour hops for 15/20m is a good move, as is giving it a small dry hop (~1oz) for a fresh aroma.
