Heritage Traditional Dark Lager
A full, off-white head.
Dark copper colour, somewhat cloudy.
A musty citrus aroma.
This beer has a strong citrus, almost sour, lemmony taste.
There is the presence of fresh spring grass in the flavour.
This is a very nice beer, but quite different from what I was expecting.
I did not anticipate the overwhelming citrus taste, but I enjoyed it very much.
In fact I saved two bottles to have with a trout dish I was cooking the next day.
It was a wonderful compliment to the fish.
I will buy this one again, especially if I am planning a seafood dinner.

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."
