Heritage Black Currant Rye Beer
A short lived, thin tan head which leaves a light lace on a deep garnet red coloured clear beer.
The aroma is fairly faint, I found some dark berry and bread notes.
Feel is quite full and dry.
The taste starts with a tangy bitter currant taste followed by some grassy rye bread tastes. I found a faint earthiness and a touch of brown sugar as well.
The finish is quite dry with a lasting berry-citrus tingle.
I enjoyed one of these but I would not want to try more than one at a time, more of a special treat beer than a session beer but the dryness was quite appealing.

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."
