Headstrong Black & Tan
A thick, creamy tan coloured head on a very dark red beer. The head hangs around and leaves some lace.
The aroma is very mild, almost non-existent. About all I can get is a faint hint of citrus.
The feel is nicely creamy and full.
Tastes are fairly mild, hints of roasted malt and some light citrus tastes, hints of bread and grapefruit.
It's not bad at all, just not much to it. Black and tan's depend completely on the mild and stout they start with. This one should have started with some outstanding beers, blending tends to hide some of the qualities of both and this one doesn't leave much.

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."
