Not my favourite
"Bought a few of these to try . When I opened it it was very lively which was odd. It was during a very hot spell so I'm wondering if it had got a bit over heated . I couldn't drink a pint of it but I could share a bottle. I might try another batch to see if it's any better. . . . . . . . . Shame because every other Fullers beer has gone down a treat."
This is a fabulous IPA
"This is a fabulous IPA and one of my firm favourites."
It’s Bengal Lancer! It’s magical.
"It’s Bengal Lancer! It’s magical. One of the best beers ever. A proper old school IPA, bottle conditioned, lively."
A great classic English IPA
"A great classic English IPA with English hops that is quite rare these days. It is bottle conditioned too."
Great tasting IPA, will definately
"Great tasting IPA, will definately buy again."
Lovely malty hoppy flavour and
"Lovely malty hoppy flavour and some ‘body’ because if the strength of this beer. Very enjoyable in warmer weather as it will take being slightly chilled without losing any flavour. Recommend highly 🙂"
Chill it!
"Quite a bitter bitter. Best served well chilled in this heatwave."
I'd say a very solid
"I'd say a very solid IPA and hence a very good 'session' beer if you are out on a picnic or hosting a barbecue and want to give the proper beer drinkers a good, safe reliable and tasty option (and by definition far superior to any UK brewed lager)."
Stick to what you're best at!
"I decided to try a small case of Griffin IPA, but I was underwhelmed with it. I was expecting a heavily Citra hopped ale, however, the underlying malty notes didn't do the IPA justice. My own taste buds have switched these days towards quality IPAs, but I still love the other draught Fullers beers such as Pride and ESB, and the bottled conditioned Vintage Ale is legendary."
