Extra Special Fool ESB by OC Brewery X Fools & Fans

OC Brewery and Fools & Fans have joined forces to create Extra Special Fool ESB, a tribute to the timeless English brewing tradition. This classic Extra Special Bitter (ESB) is built on a rich malt foundation, delivering exceptional balance between deep malt complexity and traditional English hop character.

Crafted with dark crystal and roasted malts, the beer unfolds with layers of caramel, toasted biscuit, and subtle toffee sweetness. Traditional English hops provide a firm, earthy bitterness that perfectly balances the malt richness, creating a full-flavoured ale that remains smooth, approachable, and highly drinkable.

Traditional. Balanced. Timeless. This is an ESB brewed for those who appreciate classic British ale at its finest.
