| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2002 Sampled Cask condtioned. Tried this after some draught ESB, so this tasted weak. However, it’s light & refreshing - perfect for a hot summer’s day.
I might try this again, but with Chiswick Bitter, London Pride & ESB avaliable in Fuller’s pubs, why would I? maeib (4776), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England

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

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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.
