| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 21, 2008 A very rich pale ale. This is what pale ales should strive to taste like. It has a dark complex amber color and a distinctive heavy taste for a pale ale. Very good probably in my top 5 for pale ales. albertane (376), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2008 I always enjoy this when I have it at the pub (although it’s been awhile); however, I found this bottled version fairly unremarkable, so I’ll have to agree with RPillsbury that it must be better cask conditioned. It is amber coloured with a good balance of malt and hops flavours (with some nice caramel sweetness), but I found the taste somewhat unsatisfying and the palate a bit thin. I’ll have to rate the cask version soon, because I was somewhat disappointed. RPillsbury (112), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. This one isn’t as good as the cask version. The aroma is nice with a bit of roast malt to it but I think the flavour doesn’t live up to it. I also found it a bit too thin. OStreetBrewery (100), Wellington, New Zealand
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 18, 2008 Pours a burnished gold with a tight white head. Aroma features the classic Fullers yeast nose of orange fruit, crisp warm malt and a faint hint of tangy hop. On the palate there is sweet malt reminiscent of baking, orange fruit and a balanced finish of malt, citrus fruit and gentle bitterness. HughConway (367), Washington, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 12, 2008 Bottle -- Pours copper with a modest off-white sudsy head without much retention but lots of lacing. Beautiful malty caramel aroma. Smooth medium mouthfeel. Delicous flavour with lots of malt with a roasted edge. Nice bitter edge towards the end. Very cosy. Wegro (218), Fresno, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2008 On tap. Smells yeasty with some hint of spice. Pours a beautiful caramel brownish color. Flavor is totally well balanced between fruity esters and caramel malt. Goes down smooth and as it warms it has a really great fruitiness going on. Really well put together.
