cask at Gallows Bird Espoo 290408-010508 Color:dark copper nice airy head Scent: bit fruity Taste: fresh. I got the first half pint of cask dark malts, hops, fruitiness, bit sweet and pepper. How nicely those flavors matured and balanced during three days!

kieleszd (83) - Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA - MAY 2, 2008
This should be marketed as England’s front runner. Its full bodied and matched in head. A nut brown color, HOPS are done to perfection, a true model to its late American Pale Ales. This beer dreams every flavor and sends an even message. Let’s see what Fuller’s will do for the 200th.

tlind2 (815) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 2, 2008
500 ml bottle. Pours a murky reddish brown with a thick off-white head. Pleasant aroma of herbal hops. The taste is complex, with tones of juicy, roasted malt, salted liquorish and more. Excellent balance between bitter hops and sweet malts. Truly a great brew!

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - APR 30, 2008
From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden amber to brown. Light fruity nose. Flavour is sweet caramel malt with a light roasted note and a slowly increasing bitterness. Light roasted malt finish with a nice complimentary bitterness to break the sweetness.

mikkopen (481) - Oulu, FINLAND - APR 28, 2008
500 ml bottle. Deep reddish brown colour with a thick whitish head. Strong aroma of fruits and flloral hops. Flavour is fruity, mostly citrus, with a strong, dry, hoppy finish. Perhaps the best Fullers I’ve had so far.
