jamvin23 (162), chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Hazy copper color with a small head Aroma: mild hop and caremel malt. Caramel malty flavor with a nice hop bite, medium body. BroSpud (584), , Massachusetts, USA Feb 15, 2009 On tap at British Beer Company. Really enjoyed this one. A good session beer, very drinkable and definitely worth having more than one. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Feb 14, 2009 12 oz bottle. Purs a rich amber with and average off white head. Smells malty and nutty. Tastes very buttery. Large amounts of hazelnut and malty sweetness. Not real strong on the bitter at all. Very smooth mouthfeel. Very slight fruitiness, like maybe a carmel apple with walnuts. An ok beer. dwaggs2 (532), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA Feb 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber color with a decent head. Aroma is malts with caramel hints throughout. Flavor is sweet with a mild bitter aftertaste. A pretty decent beer. Eirikur (298), Alftanes, Iceland Feb 6, 2009
This brew is way too much watery.
The basze shines through... that Fullers base.... they have gotta change this :) nickd717 (1276), Palo Alto, California, USA Feb 2, 2009 Not too crazy about this one, but it was definitely not bad. Amber color with an off-white head. Caramel malt, light fruits, and sour notes on the aroma. Flavor is caramel malt, English hops, and sour apple along with other fruit esters. Carbonation is medium-high, mouthfeel is medium yet smooth. Not one of Fuller’s best, but a pretty good example of the style. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Feb 1, 2009 Acheté à la SAQ en format de 500ml et dégusté dans un verre de newcastle. Apparence or orangé cuivré avec très peu de mousse et d’effervescence. Arômes de caramel, noisette, gingembre, pelure d’orange. Goût de caramel et similitude avec l’arômes. Exellente bière d’une grande complexité. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England Feb 1, 2009 I craved an ESB such as this when visiting northen France & was sick of overly sweet biere de garde and their lame Pelforth Blonde. Text book ESB .Oh my God its great after a long jog & you know your fridge is full of Orval . This beer is rich, its lively & not too sweet. Caramel and apple esters,burnt smokeiness from the yeast ? A bit roasted .Good ass session beer.
