Jul 20, 2005 Light amber colour, small head. Aroma is one-dimensional honey. Flavour is sweet and a bit cloying. The aftertaste is slightly skunky. Not my favourite Fuller’s, but not a bad beer.

Jul 5, 2005 15 Oct 2004 - Melon aroma and a pleasant hoppiness. Clear amber colour, poured head, but loses retention and suds lacing. Gentle melon fruitiness, a bit thinnish, slight bitterness and a strange aftertaste.

Jun 26, 2005 Updated: Sep 18, 2005Pours golden with almost no head. Feals nice and full. Sweet, hoppy aroma. I only noticed a slight honey arome... It was more distinqt in the smell. Sweet and dry finish.

May 31, 2005 Bottle: At first a bit cloying and somewhat overly sweet in the aftertaste. However, fresh hoppiness comes through as the glass progresses and it reminds you why honey was added to beer in the first place. Not my favourite from the Fuller’s stable, but worthy of it just the same.

May 15, 2005 Updated: May 16, 2005Tasted 16/05/2005. 500ml bottle from Rumble’s, Wellington.
Pale gold. White lacey head that thins and clings to the glass. Distinctive, grainy, english malt aroma that always reminds me, somewhat, of a rich single malt whiskey. The nose definitely hints at sweetness with a good note of honey and a touch of orange. Flavour surprises me with a strong orange undertone right through the malt and only a little in the way of honey. Decent malt evidence in the medium-light weight and soft mouthfeel. Hoppy little kick through the middle and on the palate with strong orange and lime, some floral notes come through later. Very nice summer quencher that NZ mainstream breweries would do well to learn a bit from.

May 11, 2005 Bottle. The colour is golden yellow; the white foam sinks down with a fizzing sound.
The smell is spicy (garden cress) with notes of malt and honey.
The carbonation is fresh, more like lager than ale.
The taste is quite weak and sweet, but it is almost too full-bodied, the malt resembles of a cheap standard lager. The aftertaste is milder with a low bitterness and flavours of honey drops, malt and marzipan.
I don’t really get this one. I reviewed it chilled; maybe I should try it really cold?
