Welsh E.S.B. is a rich and full-bodied classic ale. It has fruit, toffee and caramel flavors and is brewed for the connoisseur to an original Welsh recipe.

[1] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/29/2008 1:28:19 PM)
"Certainly not your typical ESB. This poured a frothy white head of small volume to top off an excellent and very dark copper coloured body which, by the way, was very well carbonated. A fine aroma of both hops and malt treated the nose. Taste was just grand, with not a lot of hop but more malt and I guess the toffee/caramel as well. Mouthfeel was just smooooth, with a moderately sweetish finish. "

[2] Review by BIgManne from Tupelo, MS, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/20/2008 3:25:07 AM)
"pours a nice amber red with almost no head. aroma reminds me a lot of a really weak communion wine mixed with a little bit caramel. flavor was just not there for me. wasn't even really that bitter and had a funky after taste. overall not worth the money i think. just isn't that good."

"I figured with the amount of beer consumed in the British Isle that there was bound to be a Welsh beer. The dragon on the front makes up for the lack of standount qualituies in this beer."

"Sorry, gents. This just doesn't make the grade for an ESB. I came out of the bottle like a flat forced draught ale that you'd get in an English pub."

[5] Review by Criasia from fairfield, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/16/2007 10:29:32 PM)
"this brew poured a murky light brown color with an offwhite medium head that diminished slowly leaving some lace. the aroma was heavily of toffee and alcohol. the taste went along the same tracks as the smell, additionally there was a healthy amount of carbonation, that made the brew almost like sweet champagna. mouthfeel was crisp like a lemon lime soda. over all this was a pretty good brew."
