(Cask at St Urho’s on 2008-05-08) Deep amber colour. Clear. Small white head. Weak nose contains malts and hops. Medium palate. Taste contains malt that’s sligtly sweet and bitterness. Bitterness especially in aftertaste.

does not count  Jul 13, 2008 Darker in color - coppery amber - and fuller in taste than London Pride. London water. Thin head, aroma not forceful. Again, a very drinkable beer, quickly downed.
The Dove is a classic London pub on a stretch of the Thames used for the Oxford/Cambridge boat race. On the day I’m there, lot’s of sculling activity on the river. My inevitable choice for tasting Fuller’s beers once again

Jun 26, 2008 Handpulled cask at Castle Harrow. I can remember when this really was an extra special bitter! Nowdays its an also ran. Just like its sister beer London Pride,it tastes like a mass produced factory beer now. The only distinctive flavour I detect is the recent Fullers house characture of vomit.

Jun 21, 2008 Dark brown with some beige head. Aroma not pronounced but rich. Medium body with light carbonation. Rich, fairly conplex flavour with sweetish dark malt, some fruitiness and moderate bitterness. A very good stronger ale.

Jun 13, 2008 (Cask@St.Urhos) Slightly hazy amber with a small, bubbly head. Caramely-malty aroma with some dark fruit. Caramely-fruity flavor with low bitterness, some gluey-soapy feel, and tiny hints of alcohol. Light to medium body with low carbonation. I wonder why this is so popular as a real ale, as it was quite boring, IMO.
