Poured from a 500ml bottle into a goblet
The smell is distincively hoppy with floral and resinous notes. Mild bread, caramel, honey & grass make up the rest of the aroma, which isn't the best.
On the tongue, there is an initial taste of bready, biscuity malt with some caramel and soda water. This quite rapidly gets pushed aside by the hefty hop infusion which delivers moderate bitterness and some pine and resinous notes. Finishes with very little bitterness, and the linger is distincly bland
The mouthfeel is masked at the front end by an initial, overly fizzy feel which masks the malt taste; and it is a little on the thin and wet side. Feels slightly unbalanced with not enough of malt backbone to balance the powerful hops. However, it is crisp and refreshing with an easy going light/medium body.
Overall, this isn't great from Fullers. The more I drink, the more depressing it becomes.
I probably wouldn't come back to this if I'm honest. However, the beer delivers exactly what it says on the label, so you cannot fault it for that.
65% - Poor
