This delicious, premium blonde ale from Fuller’s is the perfect combination of unbeatable flavour and refreshment.
Brewed using a unique blend of malted barley and wheat for a delicious malty taste bursting with rich, biscuity flavours, Liberty hops are then added for a distinctive zesty character and fruity bite, whilst Saaz hops add a gentle bitter taste for a clean, refreshing finish. Discovery tastes great served chilled, and its light, refreshing character makes it a perfect accompaniment to many foods.
In cask, Discovery is 3.9% ABV, while in bottles the strength is 4.5% ABV.

(500ml bottle) A gold/orange colour with a large off-white head leaves a light lacing. Taste is sweet malt with notes of caramel and a bitter/hoppy finish. Pleasant easy drinking session blonde ale when I find myself in a Fullers pub and its on tap. I like it.

Cask at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. Clear yellowish pour, thin white head. Nice floral aroma.... in fact, it was like smelling grass! The floral aroma is carried through into the flavour where there are also citrus notes but with minimal bitterness. A very refreshing summer ale that deserves a higher rating IMO. Worth tasing.

Cask - served to warm. Slightly hazy golden colour with a small, bubbly white head that fades to nothing. Light aroma with honey, pale malts and a hint of cardboard. Light body with a thin texture, flat carbonation. Taste is light sweet. Finishes light sweet with honey and malts, and a little bit of herbs. Almost no hops. In any way a lighter golden ale.

4.5% Bottle, brown 500ml type. One week before it’s best before date: poured into a vase shaped ’Old Speckled Hen’ pint glass. Lagerlike in its appearance, bright golden body and a pure white head on top. The head however disappeared very quickly leaving a thin collar. Fresh bread smell with wheat esters and a sweet yeasty aroma mixed within it. This had a summer beer feel to it (it is snowing outside at the moment), tangy, sharp and highy carbonated. Wheat and Barley is used in the brew, the wheat is evident in the taste more than the malted barley. An OK beer in the right circumstances, sunny and warm sort of times. Not late January (2010) when I reviewed it.

Bottled, 0.5l. Pours clear golden with massive frothy white head and lively carbonation. Aroma of malts, grassy hops and some fruits on the nose. Sweet malty and biscuit taste with light but long tasting finish. Medium bodied, thin texture and average carbonation in palate.
