Pours cloudy pale gold with a huge rocky white head.
Aroma is faint, lemon/orange citrus notes with berries and dough.
Feel is very nice and full.
Taste is very bright, lot's of lemon rind and orange peel citrus in there on a full bready base. Quite a dry finish. Some berry and a hint of earth come through, some touches of honey show up as it warms a bit.
I just read the back label and they are right, It's not any kind of traditional Weisse or even a Wit but it is a great tasting beer. Light and very refreshing with lot's of North American hop tastes. And if their marketing guy's came up with the name I can hardly blame them for being confused. I only wish I had tried this earlier in the summer, it would make a great patio beer.

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."
