Spectre’s Sayings

While Fuller’s London Pride is Griffin Brewery’s most popular beer among the British, their ESB is their most popular beer among Americans. And I must say, both beers have their points. They’re both good. Really good.

ESB has a pleasant, complex aroma - the analysis of which somehow eludes me. It pours a nice copper color with an average-sized head. Although the label doesn’t indicate what type of ale it is, the taste reminds me of a classic English pale ale. It’s smooth-drinking, with a nice finish. The finish contains the distinctive flavor of hops, but does not overpower you with it.

This is a good beer.
