The first of four excellent bottled ales.
*edit - the fourth one turned out to be less than fantastic.
This one is Fuller's ESB Champion Ale - its strong (5.9% abv), smooth, and rich, with a mouth tingling blend of hops. According to the label its been world champion bitter twice and champion beer of Britain three times - I can see why. I'm gonna be getting a LOT more of this one.
Starting a bottle of Hobgoblin shortly.
