(Can) Pours clear amber brown with small white head. Aroma of toffee and citrus. Medium body with good soft carbonation. Taste is ok with toffee, some herbal hoppyness, some citrus at the start. It’s drinkable but not very interesting.

9/9/2025. Bottle from Fullers online store. Clammy pale. Green, herbal.

Bottle shared at home. Pours clear golden eith thin head. Altogether a quite poor, lager-like pale just avoid it if possible.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, biscotto, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas e mandarino.

Bottle at home, from the Fullers advent calendar 2024, 21/12/24. Clear amber with a lasting just off cap. Nose is grass, pale malts, faint citric zest, toasted grains, dusty hop presence. Taste comprises orange rind, grass, caramel malts, straw, light pine nip. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close spiked with modest grass laden hop bitterness. Passable pale ... rather pedestrian. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 11 Feb 2014 at 12:41 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: Keg at Brew Wharf, 07/02/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white head. Nose is lightly toasted malt, orange, touch of lemon, bread dough, straw, cereals. Taste comprises bread dough, light caramel, grass, light hops, citrics. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close. Pretty So so, remember having this in bottle many years back and thinking it was decent, just doesn’t come anywhere close to the great beers London has to offer in this day and age!
