Tasting notes:
Extra Special Bitter (or ESB) was first developed by Fuller’s Smith and Turner in the 1970s and instantly became a favourite of beer-lovers around the world, especially in the USA. As the name might suggest, an ESB is an amped-up version of Best Bitter with more hops and a higher alcohol content. For our version, we plumped for the hops Willamette and Eukanot, which are like an absolute dream together. Dark amber in colour, there are zephyrs of caramel and toffee on the nose, alongside an undercurrent of citrus marmalade. On the palate there is a real depth of malt character with more caramel and toffee and a gorgeous citrus contrast alongside a subtle roastiness, all of which could make you think of toast and marmalade - but this is not a breakfast beer. The finish is dry and bittersweet and invites you to keep on sipping it.
Hops: Willamette, Eukanot
Food pairing: This is a beer with heft and weight. Not only would it be an ideal accompaniment to that BBQ you've been meaning to have, but — and this is where you surprise your friends and family — try going for the spicy Latin-American stew piccadillo.

About Us
At the Frome Brewing Company Ltd we work with an extremely talented and knowledgeable team of brewers. We pride ourselves on producing the highest quality beers and we're not going to send anything out of our doors that we wouldn't want to drink ourselves. We do like to experiment - but more importantly, we're all about balancing delicate flavours to produce easy drinking beers.
In other words... "it's all about the beer!"
Brewing takes place up to five times a week, with malt from Warminster, hops from Charles Faram and our very own yeast. Our yeast, which is a similar strain to Youngs, is particularly versatile. Our beers are all vegan (but they're not gluten free).
We have a diverse range of beers with colours, strengths and flavours to suit all palates - if you're not sure what to go for, try a mixed case and we'll send you a selection of our finest.
Don't forget you can use code LOVEBEER10 for 10% off your order, and if you spend over £100 you'll get 15% of automatically. Enjoy!
