Beers similar to Adnams Extra Special Bitter

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same resinous and dry character as Adnams Extra Special Bitter. A copper-coloured bitter revived from the brewery's historic brewing books and released as the autumn seasonal. It is hopped heavily and exclusively with Fuggle, which gives a floral, herbal and resinous aroma that carries through to the palate. Pale ale and crystal malt answer with a biscuity fullness, and the finish is dry, with a tart bitterness. The original, known simply as Extra, was a draught-only beer; the recipe was rebuilt from the records and from talks with former brewers. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
