The kids often ask me, what's your favorite _______? This week, it was, what's my favorite beverage. I can't answer that. I do have a favorite cider, at the moment. It's Strongbow. Nothing else comes close. But favorite beverage? Who can choose? It varies from situation to situation.
I recently discovered the Welsh ESB (Extra Special Bitter), by Thames. It comes in pint bottles, and it is Extra Special.
For those of you not familiar with the terms, a bitter is not necessarily bitter, it's just a categorization of dark ale. This particular bitter, for example, is not bitter. Well, maybe just a little, but not as bitter as, say, something more familiar like Guinness.
The Welsh ESB has a very creamy mouth-feel, and is full of caramel flavors. Very yummy. Good with food. I'll give this a hefty 35 Bottles of Ring Bo Ree. This is my favorite ale, at this particular moment. I'm sure to change my mind next week.
