Handwritten notes: ESB you say? Extra Special is it? Well, this time you're right. This tastes kind of like a good version of the "Oktoberfest" beers I've been swamped with recently. There is a sour and fruity sort of decay on this one that plays off the citrussy hop flavour. This beer tastes like it came from a cellar somewhere. It's very strange, unique, and a very good kisser.
