Pours a very cloudy and very pale yellow, looks a lot like a wheat beer. A huge overflowing white head even with a gentle pour.
Aroma is lightly spicy with hints of pine and banana.
Feel is full and creamy, very nice.
Taste is quite interesting, lot's of wheat beer tastes like banana and bubblegum but with a large piney hop hit and some gentle spicyness in the background, some pepper and faint cloves.
A very different beer and a good one. There are some grass or hay notes like a wheat beer but also a good hit of hop citrus and pine like a decent IPA. Like I said, very different, quite interesting and very good.
A wheat beer for hop heads.

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."
