Brewed from an assortment of American Cascade, Citra and Centennial hops, the distinctive, fruity aroma of Full Amber is highlighted by a hint of grapefruit. This is balanced by Magnum and Perle German hops that produce a marked bitterness and contribute to a graceful, white solid foam head that puts the crowning touch on every glass that’s poured.

Can at home, 6th November 16. Pours dark amber. Aroma is caramel, light candy. Taste is quite full, becomes more lager like as it warms. OK

Bottle from Oddbins. Appearance - deep amber to red with a nice fluffy head. Nose - redcurrants and biscuits. Taste - more red fruit but predominantly caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - a bit too sweet for a lager style.

Leighton’s flat clearance. Thanks to Fergus. Can. Almost clear amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, modest carbonation. Light malt cream. Orange and marmalade hops - mellow. Traces of piney hop and hop spice. Light dry finish. Not bad at all.

Can shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear, deep orange with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds citrusy hops, light pine, bread. Medium sweet flavour with gooey berries, oily pine, lightly toasted bread, ripe orange. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet and bready on the finish, with more gooey pine, ripe citrus. Not bad.

Can at LKS. it pours clear deep amber with a thick off-white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, piney, varnish, peach, nectarine, soapy notes and toasty notes. The taste is dry, mellow bitterness, wood, leather, varnish, bit of citrus, touch of soap, toffee and toasty brown bread with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A bit dull, but drinkable enough.

Can. Nose is malty, cereal, hint of herbal hops, slightly stale. Taste is malty, fruity, caramel, leading to a dry herbal hop finish with the merest whiff of grapefruit and lime with a peppery finish. It’s kind of OK for a supermarket beer..
