This one is amongst my favorites now. Fulfilling and astonishing brew. it is a piece of art.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
500ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark gold, with a small yet lasting head, and excellent lacing. Floral and resin hops overlay a sweet caramel aroma on the nose. There is a hint of honey to begin, with very strongly bitter citrus hops soon appearing. Some lovely malt characteristics soon join, with hints of toasted sourdough playing through the hops. The finish is delightfully hoppy, with strong lemon notes. A wonderful balanced and appetising bitter.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottled, 0.5l. Pours cloudy amber colour with medium sized frothy, long-lasting head, fizzy carbonation and some yeast residue. Hops and citruses prevail in the aroma, while flowers were also noted. Sour fruity and malty start is followed by long pleasantly bitter finish and aftertaste. Medium bodied, dry texture and lively carbonation in palate. Excellent!

Bottled, 0.5l. Pours pale amber with large frothy white head and lively carbonation. Aroma of citrus and grassy hops. Refreshing fruity taste with traces of grapefruit, rich mouthfeel and distinctive hoppy aftertaste. Full bodied with thick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Always worth of pouring another one...

Aroma: Huge citrusy aroma! Very hoppy, extremely appetizing. Some caramel notes that blend very well. Some exotic fruit, too.
Mouthfeel: Standard oily and smooth light body.
Taste: Very nice balance on a bitter character. Cookies, nuts, honey under a orange peel and grapefruit bitter flavor. Superb!
Finish: Long, bitter and peppery. I love it!
Overall: Excellent. Not sure if it is better than Fuller’s IPA though.

Packed with fruity hops and slightly sweet malt, superbly balanced. Plenty of body and a long lingering finish. Another cracker from Fullers. Bottle from Waitrose, Ponteland.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma is of sweet, fruity hops with some peach, lychee and passion fruit. Nice texture, just sweet and thick enough to temporarily coat the tongue. Flavour gives juicy, fruity sweetness at the same time as refreshing hop.

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2012 Bottle 5.3%. Dark golden/light amber colour with a white head. Aroma: Bisquity malt, fruity, oranges, earthy & floral golding hops. Taste: fruity, earthy/floral hops, sweet malt, bread/bisquits, orange-peels, metal, hay/grass, bitter finish. Light carbonation. I like that it is bottled conditioned. Highly drinkable with lots of EKG hops presence. Re-rated 2011-03-12.

Firm stiff head, slowly shrinking. A little yeast in the fragrance. Rich aroma of hops and dried fruit. Balanced bitterness, not very sweet. A linger aftertaste that keeps you happy a long time.
Another Fuller’s hit. Enjoy slowly.

Amber pour, next to no head.
Very very subtle hop aroma, but its there......nice biscuity maltiness.
Flavor is a good amount of grainy, bready malt, with some nice hops in the finish. Incredibly easy drinking, an outstanding session ale, and a great rounded beer for the style.

At a tasting, thanks mom and dad, smallish head, quite clear reddish orange colour, aroma of citrus, honey, tropical fruits and a touch of flowers and spiciness, medium empathic bitterness, flavour of citrus and bready maltiness, balanced bitter sweetish aftertaste. Excellent and satisfying.

Bottle, small head, clear deep gold to light orange colour, herbal floral aroma with some vanila and a hint of honey, medium herbal bitterness with some fruit and honey maltiness. Nice beer but a bit too subdued.
