Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
This delicious, premium blonde ale from Fuller’s is the perfect combination of unbeatable flavour and refreshment.
Brewed using a unique blend of malted barley and wheat for a delicious malty taste bursting with rich, biscuity flavours, Liberty hops are then added for a distinctive zesty character and fruity bite, whilst Saaz hops add a gentle bitter taste for a clean, refreshing finish.
In cask, Discovery is 3.9% ABV, while in bottles the strength is 4.5% ABV.
Discovery tastes great served chilled, and its light, refreshing character makes it a perfect accompaniment to many foods.

Pours light amber with quite small head. Aroma is quite fruity and slightly floral with slight note of hops. Flavour is mostly citrus and other lighter fruits, with some hops and malt. Finish is light and clean. Better than bottled version.

Cask (The Victoria, London): Deep golden, quite stable foamy layer, citrousy-hoppy, slightly nutty nose; very light bodied, moderate bitter, dryish flavour; mild dry bitter-aromatic finish. O.K., but not earth-shaking...........

Pours golden. Aroma of grass, malt and vanilla. A light body and restrained hoppiness make this a nice summer beer.

Cask (Barrowboy?, London) Golden orange, no head. Served a little cold to have any aroma. Taste is pleasantly sweet malt and hits of hops, but no real guts. After strong beers, this does have a very refreshing lightly-roasted grain taste.
