Fullers Organic Honey Dew (Pasteurised)

Brewed by Fullers
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
London, England

On-tap at The Wharf, Aalborg, Denmark. 4.3% abv. Golden color with a creamy white head. Very sweet aroma and taste with notes of honey, caramel, digestive crackers, flowers, grain and very light bitterness. Not my kind of beer.

Had this blonde once from sainsbury- probably won’t purchace again considering Fullers similarly priced offerings. Aroma of honey, andsomehops with a slightly floral and perhaps herby note. Flavours of honey and malt, though overall this beer lacks character.

Fine golden color with small head. Very faint sweet malt or honey flavor. Not very bitter and fairly ordinary.

15 Oct 2004 - Melon aroma and a pleasant hoppiness. Clear amber colour, poured head, but loses retention and suds lacing. Gentle melon fruitiness, a bit thinnish, slight bitterness and a strange aftertaste.

The honey content is pretty nice and the beer has a somewhat creamy texture but otherwise it seems like a yawner.

Tasted 16/05/2005. 500ml bottle from Rumble’s, Wellington. Pale gold. White lacey head that thins and clings to the glass. Distinctive, grainy, english malt aroma that always reminds me, somewhat, of a rich single malt whiskey. The nose definitely hints at sweetness with a good note of honey and a touch of orange. Flavour surprises me with a strong orange undertone right through the malt and only a little in the way of honey. Decent malt evidence in the medium-light weight and soft mouthfeel. Hoppy little kick through the middle and on the palate with strong orange and lime, some floral notes come through later. Very nice summer quencher that NZ mainstream breweries would do well to learn a bit from.

Surprisingly balanced, delicious ale with honey just supporting the ’good bones’ of the structure and not getting in the way one bit. The way it should be with unusually flavored beers, or should I say it kicks the ass of typical american honey lagers. I like the hops very much... Wow, it’s organic too? I’ve never met an organic veggie I did not like the taste of. Go Fullers, I’m buying more of this just because it’s organic AND tastes great.

Pours amber coloured with a thick white head. Aroma from honey and hops. Flavour is sweet, with clear notes of honey. Some hints of sugar. Somewhat refreshing. Nice bitter finish.
