Fullers Honey Dew with Cranberry

Formerly brewed at Fullers
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
London, England

Amber beer which has a solid English pale ale appearance. The aroma is very light and one of fresh fruits. The flavour has a watery bitterness about it with the tart aftertaste of cranberry that is ever present. Overall a very drinkable beer, an improvement on the original but slightly a poppish.

Bottle 03/05/2004 Amber golden coloured sweet and hoppy. Fruity slightly dry lasting malt finish.

Extremely obvious honey aroma. Nice dry flavor. I really can't sense the cranberry. A pleasant beer, in spite the lack of cranberry this one is still better than the normal Honey Dew.

Nose gives honey and honey again. First tasting impression: very watery, thinnish. Only a bit honey retronasal, no real sweetness. There is some fruitiness at the side of the tongue - could as well be passionfruit as cranberry as anything else - but the fruitiness gets more obvious after a few sips. Some floral bitterness (low-alpha’s?). Could do better.

White head on a nice orange body. Very fruity, the honey is obvious but I couldn’t sense any cranberries. Very nice drinking in the Spring. Nice combination of fruits and hops.

Sweet honey aroma. Golden liquid with white fizzy head. Wow what a refreshing taste, malts cerial, honey and a twist of cranberry. Fuller deliver the goods again. A great summery beer.

sweet nose with a clear aroma of cranberries, pilsener-esque appearance, honey taste with cranberry notes and some dry hoppiness, medium palate, twist of cranberries in the finish, very refreshing

A very good beer with the honey aroma shining through but the cranberries are almost non-existent unless that it they are there just to give this beer a slightly bitterer edge than the common or garden honeydew.
