Our 2023 Vintage Ale combines the best of traditional tastes with new hop varieties to deliver this year's own distinct character. Pale Ale malt is at the heart for delicate sweetness, combined with DRC®, a Double Roasted Crystal malt, to provide deeper toffee and raisin tones. Once more we highlight modern English hops, using Opus, Archer, and CF185 to provide peach accents and a pronounced citrus note, underpinned by the zesty marmalade character of our famous Fuller's yeast.

The holy grail of a finely crafted beer: with hints of caramel, raisins, fruit cake and peach on the aroma, there is a strong orange marmalade flavour to compliment the toffee whiskey-like finish. Truly a beer to be savoured and not rushed.

A fabulous rich ale. Very smooth and flavoursome. Just perfect drinking. Be careful though, it's 8.5%.

Lovely deep caramel flavour with a thin head but beautiful bronze colouring. A delightful English vintage ale.

Stark och mustig, en riktig smakbomb, söt och fyllig. Bra bett från alkoholen.

Aroma: A bit timid. No big difference from when I tried it last time. Malt, salted caramel, dried dark fruits. Taste: Malty, sirup, raisin. I didn’t feel the greatness this year.
