Hand pump at Wynkoop. Amber-brown, looks filtered. Big creamy head. Room/cellar temperature, low carbonation, pretty true to the UK style. Quite mellow, toasty, with some fruity ale yeast tones. Refreshingly true to style, but still rather unexceptional.

Thank god I had this beer on cask, because I do not think I could palate it otherwise - fuck this beer - tastes astringent, with bile-like acidity - rotten apple and bready malt - bitter grapefruit pith - bleck!

Cask at the brewpub. Pours light amber with a creamy white head. Very florally English. Lots of Kent-like bitter. Nice.

Cask sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear dark reddish-amber color with an almost non-existent white head. Minimal lacing is evident. Aroma of caramel, malt and some citrusy hops. Medium, smooth body with flavors of roasted malt, fruit and caramel. Very light hoppiness in the background. The finish is soft and fruity with a malty aftertaste. Just average overall.

(cask) Fox-amber, clear; slim yellowish head, rather stable. Nose with English hops (even when Cascade is really used), dry-hopped style, touch of diacetyl. Taste is rather mild-sweet; buttery flavour, not diacetyl-like; palate is slightly bitter. Touch of caramel. Thinnish texture. very little bitterness left in the aftertaste, something sticky rather. Many want to emulate Fullers, few can.

Dark colour with red highlights when held up to a light; A slight tan head covers the beer nicely. Sweet maltiness in the aroma...pretty nice. Very watery taste; light-bodied. Some good english malt & hop taste, but way too thin and watery. Overall, the aroma and appearance made the beer out to be much better than it really was. It's too bad, this is usually one of my favourite styles. And overall, this is pretty bad for the style. If you go to the brewpub, pass this one up! I had this on tap at the brewpub in Denver, Colorado on 12-August-2003.
