May 24, 2007 Cask pint at NERAX on 5/4/07
Gotta hand it to Fullers, just like the London Pride, this stuff was flawless, perfectly attenuated and tastefully hopped. Bright condition, with a copper-gold color, moderate amber highlights and a foamy white head that sits at cover, leaving light lacing.
Lovely maltiness with that vintage smell to it; bready (lightly), oily and just very wooden. I guess wooden is what I mean by vintage. Smells like being in an apartment with lots of antique furniture. Or something like that. Some light cream notes add ample sweetness and dainty hops add light floral notes, a bit of lemon and a combination of herbal-orange qualities that give it an almost tea-like note. Very light and easygoing beer in the nose (and flavor).
Some pert bitterness is quickly vanishing, leaving traces of tangerine and lemon, while bits of grains brush the palate and some light sugars are yielded. More of the wood-like, nicely-kilned malt flavors, just barely toasted. A bit of breadiness adds a touch of heft/body and a soft bitterness lingers pleasantly on the end. Lovely, soft, engaging carbonation and a medium to medium-light body overall with a spritzy, drinkable texture. No alcohol or flaws noted.

Golden, bright, with a soft white head. Pineapple and summer fruits, light and very quaffable. Clean with a smooth bitter finish. Very refreshing and very exciting to know that I can get this beer at most Fullers pubs in London.
