Hitachino Nest Real Ginger Brew
A fairly thick, rocky, tan coloured head, lasts quite well. A dark copper and slightly cloudy beer.
Aroma of dough, herbs, and some ginger.
Feel is quite full and creamy.
Taste starts with lot's of bready malt, then some light spicyness and ginger begin to come through. The nicest part of this beer is the clean bitter finish with the lingering light ginger tastes.
I was worried that the ginger would overpower the rest of the beer but it doesn't, instead it leaves that nice crisp finish which is great on a hot day and just calls out for more. It IS 7% so you need to be a bit careful with it but I will be picking up a few more this week.

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."

I really enjoyed this one as well. I think it would go fantastic with Indian food!
