Tasted this beer at the now Fuller's Head of Steam pub in front of Euston Station, London, on 21/08/05.

It pours a dark golden hue, no beer head and gentle carbonation. The aroma is restrained and simple, dominated by Fuggle hops, with some harsh note of hays, very very lively hoppy as a whole. The palate has dryish and tangy hops and a lightly grapefruit-peel taste, leading to a zesty and dry finish and medium-bitter aftertaste. Overall the mouthfeel is quite lively, but very thin in terms of body. A "clashing" mouthfeel of hops is also left towards the finish, showing no sign of softening. A slightly off-the-target golden ale/bitter.
