Gahan Brewery - Island Red Ale
Thin white head on a garnet colored brew.
Dough, fruit, hay and a hint of spice make up the aroma.
Full, rich, creamy mouth feel.
Slightly burnt caramel and fruit to start with a clean crisp citrus finish but that is spoiled by a pepper after taste that clouds up the nice flavors that came before.

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."
