Fullers London Pride
Pours a copper colour with a full rocky white head which leaves a good lacing on the glass.
The aroma is quite grapefruit citrusy with some subdued sugar and pronounced carbon dioxide tingles in the nose.
Feel is quite rich and full with a lot of creamyness.
Tastes are strongly toward the hop side with lots of grapefruit citrus but it sits on a solid doughy base which is strong enough to support it easily.
There are some fairly faint raisin, and prune tastes in there and a few of flowery notes which set it all off nicely.
This is a really nice blend of flavours and a well crafted beer. I'm enjoying it a lot.

Pleasant smoky aroma. Have never come across a smell like that in an ale. Flowery with a bit of citrus flavor. Nice clean bitter after taste. Another great blend of hops and malt, (or bitter and sweet). All in all another great beer, not quite as good a blend as the Fullers ESB.
This is what Fuller's has to say about this beer:
"London Pride is a smooth and astonishingly complex beer, which has a distinctive malty base complemented by a rich balance of well developed hop flavours from the target, challenger and northdown varieties in the brew. At 4.1% a.b.v in cask (4.7% a.b.v in bottles)London Pride is an ideal session-strength premium ale."
