Nice caramel and nutty notes on the nose, slight bitter scent of hops in there too. Great look to it, perfect blonde colour and nice foamy head. Taste is breadiness, some hops and malts, nothing exciting, and far too watery. Not a great blonde ale.

Bottle 50cl, a clear golden beer with meduim head. Nose is hopy, aroma is sligtly toasted with nice grassy and honey hops, good round biterness, easy dinking beer.

Bottle. Dark yellow clear colour, with creamy off white head, quickly laying into nice lace. Aroma of hops and malted barley with a touch of caramel, wheat and biscuits. Flavor goes from light bitter to light acidic, back to "saaz" bitter in the aftertaste.

4.5% Bottle, brown 500ml type. One week before it’s best before date: poured into a vase shaped ’Old Speckled Hen’ pint glass. Lagerlike in its appearance, bright golden body and a pure white head on top. The head however disappeared very quickly leaving a thin collar. Fresh bread smell with wheat esters and a sweet yeasty aroma mixed within it. This had a summer beer feel to it (it is snowing outside at the moment), tangy, sharp and highy carbonated. Wheat and Barley is used in the brew, the wheat is evident in the taste more than the malted barley. An OK beer in the right circumstances, sunny and warm sort of times. Not late January (2010) when I reviewed it.

Pours a nice golden colour, big bubbled head fainting rather quickly. For the majority, this ale is a fantastic choice with food. The brew is very refreshing and is a bit sweet, yet sour. One its own it doesnt leave much though.

Szép sárga tiszta. Az illata erős yenki komlóval támad nálam ez már fél siker. :) Na jó nem de kellemesen keveredik a citrusos karakter a kenyeres aszalt maláta illatkomponenseivel. Az ízében az a jó, hogy van benne valami alap száraz komlófajta tehát olyan pilses beütés. Savanykás, közepesen keserű pezsgő befejezés és enyhe hamu a nyelv hátulján. Szomjoltó és finom. Jó.

Golden in colour, quite well carbonated: pours with a very lively frothing but little in the way of a lasting head. Aromas are very citrussy: orange and lemon peel, and honey, The lemsip flavour continues through the initially slightly tart taste and sweet aftertaste. A refreshing beer with a strangely "sweet & sour" taste.

Tried this back ’09.
Just on cool, out the bottle. Orange gold and sparkling with little in the way of carbonation. A Houdini head; now you see it, now you don’t. Aroma is sweet and reminiscent of orange toffee glaze, ripe peaches and apricot, and just a speckle of wheat. Sweetish start in the mouth. Nice, juicy citric flavours, tangy and zesty across the tongue with a subtley astringent bite in the back. Crisp, moderately bitter finish. Dusty malt and earthy hops give contrast to the fruity notes. A linger of what I can only describe as banana leaves builds as it goes. The body is good, or at least of what I expected from Fuller’s with prickly carbonation giving good bounce. Overall easy drinking ale that could benefit from being served chilled.

A pale and golden beer. Nice appearance with a good white head. Aroma is dominated by malty flavours, with some noticeable fruity notes. Only one hint of bitterness, that is persistent in the finish. Just easy to drink and nothing else.
