Harp Lager
A full bright white head on a mainstream lager yellow beer.
A slight dough aroma, not much else there at all.
Feel is medium bodied, not thin and nothing to complain about.
Taste, on the other hand, is not much to brag about either.
A little more malt taste than an average North American mainstream lager, and the hops seem like an English variety which gives a bit of a change from Canadian or Blue, but there really isn't much to this beer at all.
I remember Harp on tap as a much fuller flavoured beer than this stuff from a can.
I am not impressed at all.

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."
On Tap
Just had Harp on tap again and it is a much better beer than the canned version.
A coppery colour with a full white head, a full creamy feel and tastes of grass, fresh hay and an earthiness. Flowery herbal hop tastes but only a light bitterness,
A nice clean finish.
