500 ml bottle. Pours a golden orange with a small, fizzy, quickly diminishing off-white head. Faint aroma of caramel malt and orange. Flavour is sweet caramel malt, grass, citrus and a smooth bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture with soft, almost flat carbonation. A very satisfying, good beer.

Appearance- amber, clear, plenty of bubbles rising, fizzy white head which diminishes quickly. Really nice aroma- orange, marmalade, tangerine, creamy malt, Jaffa cake, toffee, fruity, currants, toasted tea cake hints. Taste is smooth, lots of fruitiness, orangey, bitterness, tangy marmalade, nutty hints, fruitcake, medium bodied, like an amped up London Pride. Lingering finish. Really good, and delicious.

Mahogany and clear appearance, little and compact ivory head. Nice nose of orange with some floral bouquet. Sweet mouth, nice malt accents, good balance with a pleasant after taste of bitterness. Good beer! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Clear copper color, with a small creamy head, disappearing fast, leaving a little lace. Smell is caramel, licorice, and the fruity notes of good hops. Taste is also caramel, but in the taste the citrus/grapefruit notes of the hops are definetely more clear. Bitter end with a pleasant aftertaste. Another great bitter by Fuller’s.

Flasche von Töpper, Berlin-Moabit. - Kupferrot. Kräftig röstmalzig-bitter, herb-fruchtig (Orangenschale, Grapefruit), Karamel; im Hintergrund ganz zart honigartige Süße und die unverkennbaren Aromen von Fuller’s Hefe. Wenig rezent; sehr saftiges Malz. Kräftig bitterer Abgang mit grasiger, harziger Hopfenschärfe. - Großartiges Bitter von enormer Aromafülle; eins meiner Dauer-Lieblingsbiere.

Bottle, 0.50l. Clear amber brown color with medium creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus, grassy and herbal hops. Taste starts with light sweet caramel and biscuit malt, follows by fresh grassy acidity and moderate bitter finish. Medium to full body, syrupy texture and average carbonation in palate. Very smooth bitter...
