MMMmmmmm. Lovely ESB – Link<\/a><\/p>\n

Wheni lived in the UK i made sure i had a collection of ales in the pantry at all times. Never put in the fridge they are best drunk at english cellar temps so around 9-10C. Brings out the malt flavour\/aroma more. A lot of ppl tell me i am mad but its the when in rome philosophy. The poms have been doing it for generations, its only uneducated bogans\/neanderthals who choose to drink beer at close to 0C to disguise the taste of beer like VB…. “whats the matter lager boy, afraid of a little flavour?” a slight variation on the Hobgoblin t-shirt (hobgoblin being another tasty english ale)<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough ranting, i love this beer.<\/p>\n
