Cask-conditioned at the Mad Bishop & Bear, Paddington Station 9/3/2011. Deep gold with a decent white head. Biscuit malts, some doughy sweetness without going over the top, and a lingering bitter finish. Fine.

Cask handpump at The Queens Head, Farnham, Saturday 10th March 2012 Pours dark gold/light amber with a white head, good clarity. This is fruity with a reasonably decent hoppy snap at middling bitterness that lingers, not bad at all. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at Salutation, London. Pours clear, golden-brown with a fine, foam head. Doughy malts and caramel candy in the nose. Light sweet flavor, dry leaves, some toasty dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Dry to finish, more light dough and leafy bitterness. Very basic, but not bad.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at Coach and Horses, Billericay. Pours a deep orange amber with golden edges and a loose white snowy dusting of a head. A little malt and zesty orange in the aroma is quite hard to find. Quite thin on the palate, this beer has a light malty lemon taste and a light brown sugary dry aftertaste, but that’s it. In no way offensive, in fact very pleasant and easy to drink but I just wanted a bit more punch or bite, actually just the sort of things you would expect from a front row in rugby but it doesn’t deliver either. Very sessionable if you’re watching the Six Nations and I guess that’s the point.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask @ The State Bar. Amber brown colour, reasonable head. Mild malty aroma. Fruity malt flavour. A light refreshing bitter.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask. A thin bitter. Light amber color with no head. The nose is light sweet, grains and hints of caramel on the nose. The taste is mildly bitter but pretty watery and unchallenging. The palate is light and thin. Overall, I generally look forward to Fullers seasonal releases. But this wasn’t good.

(Cask at Royal Oak, Borough, London, 23 Nov 2011) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange, apricots and dusty hops. Malty, fruity taste with orange, biscuity malt and dusty hops in the finish. Light body, with balanced sweetness. Drinkable, but hardly exciting.
