[Beer] Fuller's London Pride.

Been drinking a lot of London Pride Recently.  Had a few bottles in Cornwall, got some at home and the local had it on tap last night as a guest ale.  Excellent.  I do like a nice Pride.

Nice amber-red colouring with a nice firm head that floats and stays if poured correctly.  Excellently crisp malty aroma, oddly got me thinking of fresh bread and meadows (sounding a bit like Oz Clarke for my own good there).  It's a very easy ale to drink, as I found out last night.  No lingering bitterness in the aftertaste, which draws you into another sip quickly.  Nice buttery, smooth texture.

Pride, if it's on tap, would be my "go to" beer in a pub for sure. 4.1 on tap and 4.7 bottled.  Lovely.
