Cor blimey guvnah, A pint of bitter and a plate of jellied eels please.
Actually... forget the jellied eels, i'll just have the beer.
And quite a good beer it is too. A premium ale from one of Britain's biggest independent brewers, London Pride ticks all the boxes for presentation, and comes across as being a quality product.
'Bitter' is obviously meant to be just that, but there's a line that has to be drawn before the point when a beer becomes too bitter to drink comfortably. Thankfully, Fuller's have kept London Pride's bitterness at a level that provides a good balance between strong flavour and ease of drinking.
Smell: Malty, but not too strong. Fairly balanced. 2/4
Colour: honey, copper. Warm and inviting. 3/4
Taste: Malty, light, smooth bitter, with hops becoming more evident in the aftertaste. 3/4
overall: a smooth, drinkable beer, with a good bit of character. 8/12
