Amber
Loosely, a variation of the good old bitter. Usually made a bit stronger and "redder" by the addition of Amber Malts. Once again, these are generic terms and the name that a brewery decides to attach to their beer is not so much a matter of fact as as it is a matter of opinion.

ESB (Extra Special Bitter)
Like the name might suggest in relation to the above description of Bitter, an E.S.B. is significantly higher in alcohol content than a bitter. Perhaps a bit richer body, or a redder color.

Bitter
Bitter is a very generic term use to describe a wide variety of ales. In general, it refers to a light bodied, basic style of English ale, usually not very potent in terms of alcohol content. Often referred to as Session Beer. Session? I once heard it described this way: "People can sit around and drink it all night, discussing the important matters of the day, without wandering too far off the original subject." Bitters can be lightly or highly hopped.
