Color is dark orange, with a medium head, quite thick, but disappearing. Smell is soon really good, with caramel notes, nuts and clearly citrus hops. Taste gives the same notes, with a good bitterness that linger in the end. Low carbonaton, medium body, oily texture. I really enjoyed it, it’s really a good bitter ale.

Bottle, 0.50l. Clear pale amber color with medium creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus, floral and spicy hops. Taste starts with moderate bittersweet maltiness, follows by mild caramel and fruity notes, while finish is moderate bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. You can’t miss with such Fuller’s classic...

0,5L can. Pours clear amber with small white head. The head stays for some time. Aroma is dominated by malt, some sweetness and caramel. Taste is malty, some bitterness and caramel sweetness. Decent finish with some bitterness and caramel. Overall: solid beer, but not really special.

330 ml bottle into pint glass, best before 12/22/2013. Moderate gusher upon opening. Pours slightly cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of caramel, toffee, pear, apple, grape, biscuit, toast, floral, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with very well balanced malt, hop, and yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, toffee, toast, pear, apple, grape, biscuit, floral, grass, herbal, light pine, and yeast earthiness. Fair amount of earthy herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toffee, pear, apple, grape, biscuit, toast, floral, grass, herbal, light pine, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a god bit. Very well balanced and moderately robust malt, yeast, and hop flavors; with a moderately crisp malt/hop balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a lightly creamy, smooth, and moderately crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a damn nice English pale ale! All around good balance and robustness of flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
