Sep 14, 2008 (At Black Door, Helsinki, on 2008-09-14) Amber. Clear. Medium sized lightly tan head with lace like edges. Malts and yeast in nose. Quite light and dry palate with little carbonation. Malts, bitterness, hops and yeast in taste. I suppose the cask has gone past its prime time.

Jul 6, 2008 Handpulled cask at Wheatsheaf, Ealing. I’ve not enjoyed Fullers much of late, but this little gem proved to me that they can still brew a good drop of ale. A lovely amber session bitter with a good lasting white head. Buiscuity malt with a very fresh dose of challenger hops. Why arn’t Fullers other beers still as good as this?

May 16, 2008 [on tap at the Corn Stores, Reading] Surprisingly pale brown for a bitter. Initially fruity (maybe apples?) with a touch of malt. Definitely the Fuller’s flavour in there too - a hint of watered-down London Pride. Very dry hoppy aftertaste, like the inside of an oast house - not too bitter though. Overall, this is a fairly average bitter, which tastes nearly as weak as the low alcohol content suggests. One for (long) session drinking rather than for pleasurable tasting.

May 9, 2008 Updated: Jan 12, 2009This is what session bitter is all about. Gorgeous aroma of Golding’s - put your head in bag full of them and that’s what it’s like - fruity (orange and lemon?), floral and backed up by some (in the word’s of Protzy) biscuity malt. There is a firm but light malt body, lovely green hops (altough they slowly decrease over the period of time the cask is on) and good bitterness. It’s a bitter and it has the wonderful interplay between malt and hops with that classic English fruity yeast. If you’re American then you should love it as it adheres to a style incredibly well. A testament to English subtlety!
