The Bottom Line
ESBs or extra special bitters are typically bigger versions of a brewer's pale ale or bitter beers. More malt and more hops make ESBs memorable session beers. I failed to see the special in this extra special bitter.

Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review of Harmon Brewing Brown Point ESB
The beer is light brown. A slightly fruity flavor resulting from the ale yeast is overwhelmed by the Fuggles hops that dominates this brew. There is simply not enough balancing malt to make this beer work.
