18/10/2011 50cl bottle @ Klaas' place - BB: 17/5/13 (2011-560) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!
clear deep orange beer, small white irregular head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of peaches, some pineapple, sweet fruity, piny when swivelling the beer around. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity, some pineapple, some citrus, gently bitter, little nutty, hops. Aftertaste: still very fruity, peaches, bitter orange zest, almonds. I'm pretty sure I like English IPA's just as much as American ones, at least if they can match this quality.Earlier Rating: 8/1/2011 Total Score: 3.928/07/2011 500ml bottle @ Klaas' place (2011-350) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!

A fresh bottle (BBE. 28 Jun 13). Copperbrown beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma is quite mild, toffeeish maltyness and citrussy hoppyness; quite fresh aroma, good. Taste is malty, quite dry, some toffee, dry and wooden bitterness. Almost medium bodied, slighthly rough to drink. Iโm not so excited about this beer, aromatic and OK, but still too balanced and cautious; I pick up ESB before this, because they are both wrestling at the same leaque.

Bottle from Waitrose. Pours golden amber with a foamy 2 finger beiged head. Aromas of floral and citrus over very light caramel. Med body. Flavor is definitely malty, and itโs fairly floral. It is bitter, and compares very favorably with US East Coast IPAs. Drinks quite well.

Bottle vonditioned. Golden orange in colour with a quickly disapating head. Faint hoppy aroma. This is a rather well balanced sessionable beer. Good malty backbone with spicey earthy hop and a nice bitter finish that makes you go for another swig.

Bottled 500ml. - from the London Pride store in Ljubljana, shared with Marko.
Clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head that went away slowly, agrumey hoppy nose. Sweet malty, agrumey hoppy and mild caramel with pleasant grapefruit notes in the finish. Very nice beer one of the best Fullerโs Iโve tried.
