TonyC's ESB


This was one lively bottle of beer! It bubbled up for quite some time, and slowly bubbled up a bit for a while after I thought it had finished. During the early period, a lot of this foam was made up of very large bubbles, my guess this is a product of the overcarbing. Aroma gives some malt, but not too much. Taste has a bit of bite in it which could be due to the overcarbing, there's heaps of effervescence in the beer and this gives it a prickly mouthfeel. Overall it's a nice beer, if I had a 'pocket sparkler' I would use it to knock CO2 out of it to make it easier to go down. Sorry for going on about the carbonation level so much, it has affected the beer quite a bit. Ignoring that part, it's what I expect from an ESB- a nice, easy to drink beer.
