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 Fuller’s I’ve tried.

Bottle conditioned, 500 ml, as Fullers India Pale Ale. ABV is 5.3%. Bought in Sweden at Systembolaget. BB date 23/Mar/11. Deep golden colour, big to moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of hops, wood and rum-raisin. Lovely flavour, very well balanced between a distinct malty and fruity sweetness and equally distinct hops. Just the right bitterness in the finish. Brilliant stuff.

Pours orange/amber with a large lasting creamy head.Nose shows floral, fruity and grassy hops at first, lots of orange marmalade in there. Also some spicy notes alongside loads of caramel and bready malt.Similar malt profile in the way of flavours, sumptuously malty. There’s subtle spicy and resinous hops in there too along with a bold bitterness that bravely tries to curb the sweetness.Carbonation is a little full-on.

0,5 l. bottle from the supermaket. Rusty amber body, dense white head, lots of carbonation, some lang lasting laceing. Surprisingly malty for an IPA and well hopped. Medium body, longlasting aftertaste. Cookiestyle malts, some dryness as well. A good, solid brew, great balance and nice complexity. A highly drinkable beer, that says another one...

500ml Bottle - Amber in colour. Marmalade, tea and grapefruit feature in the aroma. Bitter, crisp and hoppy taste with grapefruit, toffee, peach and spicy malt. Nicely balanced and the bitter is noticeable, but too overwhelming.

Clear amber with an off white head. Aroma is fruity and floral with caramel and earth. Rich malts in a fairly thin beer have pears and toasty caramel. Fruity and floral early. Quite bitter with a bit of citrus sharpness at the finish that didn’t quite fit. A little watery but did seem alive. Not Fuller’s best effort, but still pretty good.
