Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor
Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with a thick, clumpy white head and lots of very clingy lace.
Spices, banana and just a hint of everygeen make up the aromas. As it warms the aroma becomes more complex but the smells blend together and I can't pick them out individually.
Full, creamy mouth feel.
Spices and sweetness reniniscent of double bubble gum followed by a citrus hit and a very peppery finish. A little too peppery for me. If it wasn't for that I could really enjoy this more. All in all it is still a very good brew, head and shoulders above main stream anything.

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."
