Beer pours a deep clear amber colour with a beige head that has some decent sticky lacing. Aroma of spices and fruit, chocolate, and notes of orange zest. A bitter orange flavour hits the tongue first, wich melts into flavours of caramel and chocolate with light malt sweetness, the beer finishes with a dry bitter hop finish. Top Notch Beer, looking forward to drinking a few more of these.

Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of roasted and nutty, moderate herb note for the hops, light dough for the yeast, with brown sugar in the background. Head is frothy, off-white, with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is slightly hazy red/brown. Flavor is lightly sweet and acidic to start, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic, and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, creamy with a soft, verging on lively carbonation. It finishes lightly astringent and aloholic. A great balance in flavors. This is probably the best English beer I’ve had.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2011 500ml bottle. Pours a nice dark-mahogany colour, with a medium sized tan head, that subsides quickly to a decent surface film. The aromas are of fruits, with a lot of emphasis on some citrusy hops, almost like grapefruits. There’s almost a hint of dark roasty chocolate malts in their too. The taste is fruity up front, followed quickly by a slightly forceful hop bite, and then a dry hoppy finish, with a malty after taste. There’s a very subtle hint of the slightly higher ABV, but it’s definitely out-done by the hops. A highly enjoyable and complex brew.

It’s is if Bass went legite. Very malty. It’s one of those pales you wanna keep in the back of the fridge for a rainy day. Keep two on stock at MOST times.

Dark amber ale with a huge tan head, this beer has roasty aroma and flavor. The flavor is complimented by caramel and citrus. It has a smooth and nearly chewy mouthfeel.

1 pt. 09 fl oz (US) bottle. Expiration date: Oct. 24, 2008. Pours a beautiful reddish-copper with a creamy beige head. Solid mouth feel with a bold malty flavor. Another excellent brew from Fullers.
