On tap at Spitting Feathers La Plagne Bellecote. Golden coloured, small white head, light malty nose. Malty, bready, light piney and bit fruity with some bitterness in the finish. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 03 Feb 2014 at 16:55 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

Sweet malty, caramel and peachy fruity hoppy taste with dryish bitter finish. Not bad but had better.

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!

Day 16 catch up on the Fullers advent calendar. Good pour and good colour. Quite a harsh bitterness, which isn't great, and it dominates the whole palate. One of the poorest beers of the calendar and overall not impressed with the Meantime beers. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 25 Apr 2018 at 12:37 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Pint of keg at the Anthologist. A rich golden colour in the glass with a reasonable head and lacing. No aroma because it was chilled, but the taste was malt and rich bitter hops in remarkable balance that resulted in a tasty beer. A good mouthfeel from the malt and a perfectly pleasant pint to wash down the excellent lunchtime burger.

Bottle from the Fuller's advent calendar 2024. The taste is bitter - sweet, candied lemon & lime, tangy, sherbet, orange squat, pic n mix, toffee and grass. The taste is crispy, dry, grassy, leafy, twiggy, nip of spice, pithy, zesty, soapy citrus, lemon - lime, twiggy and earth with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Decent citrus vibes, but also some twiggy ones. Drinks fine. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 21 Mar 2012 at 07:19 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 3.5. Original review text: Tap at the Beer House at Charing Cross. It pours clear amber, with a thin white head. The nose is hay, straw, grass and farmyard. The taste is hay, grass, dough, straw and metal.....not much else! Finishes dry. Thin body and harsh carbonation. Watery and lacking in flavour - not good at all.

Old note. Bottle. Aroma is not bad: a subtle, floral-spicy aroma with toffee. Taste: light caramel, malt, a little sour, a bit watery, need more hops!

Pint på The Clissold Arms (The Kinks lokalpub), sammen med Steven: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Gress, urter, barskog og citrus. Fin, fruktig bitterhet i avslutningen. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 16 Jan 2013 at 13:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Fra fat på Cardinaltreff jan-13: gylden med langt, højt skum. Aroma og smak av kvae, furunål og gress, sommer tydelige spor etter cascade. Heller liten munnfylde (skyldes vel det lave vitamininnholdet) og besk, kort ettersmak. Fra fat på bryggeriet april-14: både Håkon og jeg er enige om at dette er gode saker. Frisk, syrlig, godt balansert, og med en slank munnfylde som gjør at dette glir lekende lett over ganen mens vi venter på maten. Opp fra 2.9 til 3.5

[December 2021] Clear and golden with a bubbly white head and a soft citrusy nose. Moderately carbonated it's a little bit fruity, a little bit floral, a little bit malty and a little bit bitter --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 13 Dec 2021 at 18:45 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Pale amber with a frothy white head, and an aroma that balances sweet malt and grapefruit/lemon. Fairly heavily carbonated, there's citrusy bitterness and sweet biscuit malt coming through, the latter predominating
