Based on a Fuller's recipe from 1897. The colour is burnished gold. Aroma is an enticing blend of marmalade, toffee, spice and gunpowder/flint. The flavour starts clean but quickly moves into a marmalade warmth, more of an orange honey character than the way the malt presents in our house IPAs. This beer then has a dry finish, tea like, the fruit giving way slowly to something a touch herbal, a touch bitter. The bottle and keg version give sparkle and lightness, an effervescence that accentuates the refreshing character that these beers needed to provide at their destination.

Supposedly based on an old Fuller’s recipe, this light, golden pale ale is almost unidentifiable as a modern IPA.
Flavours of honey, lemon, green tea… aromas of floral hops and citrus fruit… very soft and almost sweet going down, but finishes as bitter as you’d expect.
Overall quite floral and fruity
