Jul 3, 2006 Updated: Sep 21, 2006500ml bottle poured a golden clear ale in the tankard with a 1 inch rocky cap that reduced to a surface lace.
Aromas of crystal malt, clover, soft spice and light wiffs of musty sweetness ( Honey?)
Medium bodied...Decent Carastan malt spine, creamy mouth feel, well rounded mellow character, very smooth delivery.
Up front we get a big whack of Crystal malts and light challenegr hop tastes which give a bread and spice impression...midway the honey is detectable but the hops keep it from cloying, then the finish is drying and malty with a light kiss of the honey acting as a sharp reminder there will be no bitter after taste . Far from being "sweet" this ale is smooth, malty balanced and extremely drinkable.
I take this brew as a second Fuller’s favorite next to their porter. It’s so drinkable and enjoyable I’d be tempted to make this a favored session ale but at 3.50 a 1/2 liter the price prohibits that.

Aug 27, 2007 Flaske. Svag duft af honing som ikke træder igennem i smagen. Forholdsvis kedelig øl.

Dec 8, 2004 Bottle at some pub in Wimbledon. Clear golden body with hardly any head at all. Sweet aroma, doughy with some honey and malt. Didn’t do much for me though. Light flavor, kind of crisp. But some definite honey notes. Nice to try some different Fullers beers though.

May 28, 2009 Bottled. Sparkling golden, coarse disappearing head. Honey candle wax nose, metallic notes, sugariness, biscuit malts and slight herbs, pretty mild. Balanced honeyish flavor, herbal hops, a tad rusty, soapy finish. Medium bodied, low lush carbonation. Boring golden ale with some honey on top, guess this could be a bit more adventurous. It’s not really even refreshing.

Feb 18, 2009 Bottle: At King s Pub. Sweet honey aroma but not overpowering in the taste. Real refreshing and a good choice for a session beer; a nice prelude to full bodied styles coming up next.
