Fuller's ESB is among the greats, but Dogfish's 90 Minute IPA.....
...is the beer to end all beers. It will have you at the first sip. There's also it's little brother, the 60 Minute IPA.....
Hey, Ecstatic...I'd like your opinion on these, since you like Fullers. This is more of what I used to drink ESB for.

HH, I should have mentioned Dogfish, especially the 60 Minute IPA. They have some great names: Midas Touch Golden Elixer, Lawnmower, Snowblower, Arctic Cloudberry Imperial Wheat, Blood Orange Heffenweizen.... I've tried a few, many more to try.

When I first visited the UK in 1980, the US couldn't touch the "Real Ales" of the UK. Now they're every bit as good, maybe better (though my two all-time favorites remain Wadsworth 6X and Caledonian Cream Ale, though then again, it's been over a decade since I've had either).

My two all-time favorite ales are Wadsworth 6X and Caledonia Cream Ale:

Those are excellent quaff but IMO are beaten by the original McEwans 80/- as served on draught in the Athletic Arms (AKA The Diggers) in Embro. Pure electric soup. I am also very fond of Greenmantle and Maclay's 80 bob.

Oh yes, McEwans 80...great stuff. I recently picked up a very interesting assortment of traditional (as in dating back to the 9th c and beyond) Scottish ales, including a very tasty elderberry ale.

I do like the West Country beers (Waddies is Somerset.) The Wessex brewery beers for example are nice on the neck.

Actually Waddies is crafted in Devizes, Wiltshire. At 4%, it's not too strong, but very satisfying.
