Fuller's, ESB Champion Ale 
This recently revised and re-packaged beer pours a deep bronze colour with a definite ruby at the core, and a thick, creamy head.The nose is all bitter hops, chicory and burnt, toasty malt with a lovely smokyness and
hints of sourdough bread. On the palate it is full and smooth, with a wonderfully rich concentration of malty flavours, where a fleeting impression of sweetness is soon overtaken by oliy, roasted,
hoppy bitterness and a streak of sour orange and grapefruity, pithy acidity. A wonderful bottled beer with a very long finish. 50cl. 5.9%ABV. £1.85 Waitrose, widely available.
