Fuller's Red Fox (Cask)
Cask; Seasonal - Autumn.
An autumnal favourite, Red Fox is tawny red in colour and bursting with delicious malty flavours. Brewed with toasted oats which lends distinctive biscuit notes and a mellow aftertaste.

Half of cask on the Fullers brewery tour. A re-rate following a terrible pint of this at the Counting House. A deep dark brown in the glass with a small and well laced head. The flavour was all malts and a sweetness coming through on the flavour profile that was intriguing. Normally I hate that in a beer, but this was very well balanced with the malts and some bitter hops. Very much an autumnal beer and one that I would have again; as long as it is well kept.
On tap at Fuller's pub, Tottenham Court Road, London. Pours a clearish amber red with a thin beige head. Aroma: Malt, toffee, brown sugar, rock candy notes. Mild funkiness on the nose. Taste: Biscuity malt, toffee, mild bitter cocoa, very mild bitter cherry flavours. Thin bodied. Watery consistency. This is an average beer. Not much flavour, and an unpleasant aftertaste. It isn't a bad beer, just boring. Wouldn't drink this again.
Cask @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours reddish amber, small off-white head. Aroma of sweetish autumnal malts. Taste is smooth, lightly sweet, leafy malts, some toffee. Decent for the style.
Pint @ Bishop's Arms, Uppsala. Overall pleasant ale: smooth, low carbonation, gentle complex aroma.

I have missed this lightness but flavour. It is a good daytime ale. It is a shame that I can’t find it in bottles at the moment.

Great traditional red ale. Not too much from the hops. But a balanced sweetness from the malt with caramel, biscuit and raisin. A little spice in there. Not at all stale tasting as some Irish/reds can be.
Clear red beer, off-white head. Tangy fruit aroma. Sugary apple taste, some caramel, a light maltiness. Other than a little at the front and back there’s not much bitterness. A touch watery in mouthfeel and aftertaste.
Cask at the Tap on the Line Kew. Aroma moderately malty, fruity and spicy notes. Pours chestnut brown with thin top diminishing. Tastes berry fruits and caramel malts. Overall pleasant enough once a Northerner gets over the shock of London prices.
Cask at The Admiralty in London. Pours clear amber with medium sized white head. Too soft carbonation for my liking. Berries, caramel, notes of dark fruits. Quite close to some Bitter’s actually.
Cask gravity at the St Albans BEER festival 2016. For the Irish ale tick. A clear reddy orange amber coloured pour with a a loose off white head. Aroma is seeet dried fruits, cakey malts, nutty, toffee, raisin and apple. Flavour is composed of brown sugars, cakey. Toffee, spicy dried fruit. Raisin. Palate is medium sweet, moderate cask condition. Ok. For the Irish ale tick.
Cask @ The Boat, Berkhamsted. Very rich and malty, refreshing with hints of plums, red berries and ripe sour cherries. Not much bitterness, round and fruity, smooth. Nice autumn ale. Tastes like a nice sunny autumn day with wet red leaves on the ground.
Cask at the Parcel Yard, London. Pours deep orange to red with small white head. Caramel, fruit, bready notes, hops. Sweetish with some bitterness in the end.
Cask @ Abel Heywood, Manchester. Amber-red with a creamy head. Crisp with a light berry-sweetness that lingers a little. This is more pronounced in its nose.
Cask@Charlies Bar, Copenhagen - amber coloured pour a reddish hue, with white topping. Aroma and taste is sweet malty and fruity, light caramel, some notes of berry fruits, all abit subdued though, not a fan.
Cask at Jugged Hare Victoria. Clear brown amber colour. Lasting off white head. Some autumn fruit flavour. Jammy. Some puke. Not the best beer in the world but it took me to number one rater of Fuller’s Brewery.
Cask (Shooting Star, London) - Copper in colour. Berries, blackcurrant and notes of malt and dried fruit in the aroma. Nicely balanced taste with blackcurrant, raisins, caramel and biscuity malt.
Way to flat for my likings. Could have been a quite nice and tasty ale with at least some carbonation.
Clear amber color with no head. Ok malty, fruity and bready aroma. Medium body and a very flat carbonation. Tad sweet and a low bitterness. Fruity, malty and bready flavor.
