Excellent summer ale that for the first couple of pints is really refreshing. Pale gold with some nice citrus tangy hops. However after a bit it lacks body and structure. Re-rate. Lower score cos I hadn’t had it for a bit. After a cut grass/hay nose it really doesn’t have anything else

Feb 19, 2006 Cask. Sweet, creamy mouthfeel, with a slight hop bitter finish. Not too much going on it has to be said, but its refreshing enough.

Oct 2, 2003 Cask Conditioned at Chequers, Chipping Norton. Golden beer with thinnish head. Light roasted malts give a body to a clearly defined hop flavour, no real bitterness from the hops, but a crystal acid palate. Thin throughout, but very drinkable.

Oct 27, 2003 [Cask conditioned] This is pretty sweet and caramelly. I don't understand why they call thus refreshing. The finish is thin and slightly wheaty.

Sep 23, 2003 Fullers have recently jumped on to the summer quaffer bandwagon in a noble attempt to lure the lager drinkers. It is a style I quite like, and it was indeed a blazing hot day when I tried this. However, I thought it a little bland and lacking in bite. Consequently, I did not find it that refreshing. A reasonable effort, but there are better beers in this style - Hop Back Summer Lightning for one (but beware the deceptively high alcohol content of that one). Handpump, The Warrington, London W9, June 2003 - a must-visit pub if you are in the Maida Vale area.

May 25, 2009 Cask conditioned handpump Sir Charles Napier Brighton A golden coloured beer with a little off-white head and lacing. A sweetish yet hoppy aroma and a sweetish taste with biscuit notes. A bit of butter and a bit of lemon. Nice enough but would easily become cloying
