As the new Head Brewer, this 2017 edition of Vintage Ale champions a new American hop variety Denali, used to give the beer a citrusy, pine-like flavour and a new British malt variety Laureate. Combined with trusty British hops Target and Goldings, our 21st Vintage Ale is a well-rounded and balanced beer with Fullers yeast adding the orange, marmalade characters to it.

Rewieved this in the year 2018 when it was fresh. This has been in storage for eight (8) years. Why? By accident, forgotten bottle. Decided to taste this cautiously, if it is ruined. Pours murky brown brew, tint to red. Looks like finnish beer without hops, i.e. sahti. Scent to fermented fruits and berries, like apples and/or grapes. Winey notes too. Taste is sweet, understandably this is well over its prime time, yeasty sidetaste. Taste to has winey characteristics, fermented and dried fruits. Not ruined but clearly lost its character. Let's see if intestines protests this after some time has gone. Not very enjoyable, because of too long time in storage.

Taas yksi loistava Fullersin vuosikerta-ale. Tässä(kin) kaikki juuri kohdillaan. Prosentit vain korostavat oluen täydellisyyttä. Makeutta runsaasti, muttei tippaakaan liikaa.

Joulun kunniaksi kinkunpaiston ohessa maisteltu. Hyvää oli vaikka ollut kaapissa jo todella monta vuotta.

Todella miellyttävä karamellinen, rusinainen, pehmeä tuoksu. Todella pehmeä, vahvan rusinainen, käytännössä hapoton, kevyen alkoholinen olut. Muuten todella hyvä tuote tälle ikää, mutta happojen puute vähän latistaa.

5 years in storage. Fruity ale. Dried fruits, apricot, bread and orange aromas. Some caramel in finish. Not so full-bodied as my previous Fuller’s 2021 was today. I could even say this was a little bit watery.
