Grolsch Weizen
Cloudy yellow/amber colour with a full lumpy white head.
The aroma is of Citrus, Coriander, and wheat fields.
The first taste is honey sweetness with hints of flowers. This is overlaid with Banana, Vanilla, bread dough, and coriander.
The finish is a bright citrus tase and a clean tingle on the back of the tongue.
This is a great beer. I just had my last one with some grilled and lightly spiced pork chops and it was wonderful. I really wish it was not my last one.
I don't usually expect much from mainstream brewers like Grolsch but they have truly outdone themselves this time.
I intend to buy this one again as often as I can find it.

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."
