Greene King I.P.A. (India Pale Ale)
Not much head on this beer. It was white I think. The beer is a dark red yellow colour.
I can smell honey and a hint of skunk or something.
It tastes good though. Kind of sweet but with a good bitter taste at the end. A bit of some kind of citrus but not like anything I can name. Just the same sort of flavour. Not as sweet as an orange and not as bitter as a grapefruit. Nothing like a lemon or lime.
It's pretty good though. A lot better than my Canadian.

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."
