A vigorous pour gives a 3/4" white head which hangs around for a while and leaves a nice cap with lot's of lacing. The beer is a very clear light golden colour.
The aroma is sweet and fruity with faint grass notes.
Feel is quite nice, moderately creamy and dry.
The taste starts moderately sweet with very faint fruit and grass tastes, then the dry bitterness takes over. Not a citrus bitter, more earthy.
A nice drinking beer, all I need now is an Oompah band and a nice Hofbräuhaus. Learning to speak German wouldn't hurt either although I could probably manage to get another beer one way or another.

Fullers London Pride

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."
