Reviews

First time i have had

"First time i have had this since I did a Gales brewery trip in the 80s. It is very reminiscent of the original, has a good depth of flavour and sufficient alcohol for a decent hit. I will definitely buy this again now, safe in the knowledge that Fullers have done the old recipe proud and produced a decent quality ale."

HSB was my favourite draft

"HSB was my favourite draft ale for many years when it was brewed b6 Gales in Horndean. Over the years it has not always been widely available. Finding bottled HSB on the Fullers website has been a revelation. After a couple of bottles I feel like I have rediscovered HSB and the taste is every bit as good as I remember! My new/old favourite ale!"

— Mark S. (5/5)

Lovely beer with good memories attached

"When I was a child, my family would visit an elderly aunt of my father's in Hampshire. My father always took us to a Gales pub so that he could have a couple of pints of Gales. I was always allowed to have a sip. HSB tastes of childhood to me."

— Anthony L. (5/5)

I always loved draught HSB

"I always loved draught HSB and was delighted to see it resurrected by Fullers. Excellent beer. Just a shame it’s not bottle conditioned."

— David J. (5/5)

HSB is such a wonderful

"HSB is such a wonderful beer! When I can’t make my mind up between a London Pride or an ESB, HSB is the perfect answer."

— Adam W. (5/5)

Brilliant HSB

"This is now competing with London Pride as my favourite ale. Good strong malty flavour. Settles well when poured without excessive/froth unlike many other (non Fullers) bottled beers."

— David P. (5/5)

"This is a beer that you don’t see that often in Yorkshire, but if you do it’s well worth trying A good old fashioned bitter"
