A "bolder" interpretation of the classic London-Style Extra Special Bitter (ESB), this ale features more maltiness, including toffee and nuttiness, perhaps not typical in this style. It is "dry-hopped" with Fuggle and Brambling Cross hops to balance the added sweetness with complex hop aroma. Although ESBs have a lot of bittering hops, a soft bittering is present in this interpretation - giving the expected initial "bite", without lingering on the tongue.
