Headstrong Pale Ale
A medium sized, coarse, off white head which lasted throughout, on a reddish copper coloured beer.
The aroma is of bread dough with a slight floral/citrus scent. The citrus intensified as the beer sat for a few minutes.
The feel is quite full and creamy.
This is a nicely hopped beer, tastes of floral/citrus over bread dough and earthiness.
A citrus sparkle with a touch of sweet caramel to finish.
A slightly North Americanized pale ale, very drinkable and, with all the hops, very refreshing.
I will buy this one again often.

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."
