Fullers vintage

For Vintage Ale we've stayed close to home; all of our ingredients have been sourced from the UK. Tropical citrus and apricot flavours take center stage, delivered by Ernest and Olicana hops. Pale ale malt from the finest Maris Otter barley combines with Crystal malt to give the beer a rich biscuit sweetness.

The Denali hop has a big, inviting aroma that imparts pineapple, citrus and pine notes — perfect for bringing a tropical touch to the Vintage Ale series. All of our Vintage Ales are very special bottle conditioned beers. This second fermentation results in a more complex character and a flavour profile that will change over time.

I usually would buy three bottles: one to drink right away, one to enjoy after a couple of years, and one to store away until…now. What vintage do you think will come out on top? Will the still be holding up?
