COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pasteurised bottle. Also available in keg for export only. The very occasional cask version is only available in the UK and has a separate listing.
Goldings hops and Golden Promise malt.
At 8.5% ABV, Golden Pride guarantees a superb range of flavours, that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of palates. Our brewers describe Golden Pride thus: ’ deep amber in appearance, Golden Pride is full bodied, of moderate bitterness, moderately hopped and rich in malt. Full flavoured, and reminiscent of sweet orange oil, toasted grains, and bread. Rich malty aromas lead to a similarly styled palate, with an intense finish. Sweet and bitter flavours are expressed in good balance in this weighty brew.’ Or as the late Michael Jackson, beer writer and connoisseur, put it: ’the Cognac of beers’.

One of my favourite beers. I love its taste, kind of sweet and bitter with some organe taste...

Strong dark amber ale, aromas of toffee and malt. Taste is malty, sweet caramel, butterscotch and honey. There is a malty, bitter aftertaste. Some really nice flavours jump out at you with this one as it warms. This is a good strong English ale.

A clear red/amber with small head. Aroma is a lovely mix of bread and a floral tang - a great sniff! With the taste, the bitterness comes through more than the sweet malt, but work together well and are both present in the finish. The body is quite light, but not watery and carbonation is present. Overall I would say this is a well balanced and wonderfully tasty brew.

Red-Brown color with ejote low head. Correct aspect. Sweet aromas:honey, liquor; and roasty aromas: chocolate. Very good and intense flavour. Roasty notes are dominant in mouth. Aswell some creamy, vanilla and spicy nuances. Low bodied but intense bitter-sweet taste. First the sweetness and then the bitterness. Not very long end. Filip

I bought a bottle of this at the brewery. It went in the fridge as soon as I got back to the states. It sat there for about 4 months, waiting for a special occasion. When I finally opened it, the beer was badly oxidized. It had the balance of a good, big beer. But it was too far gone to really tell what it could have been.

Sweet orange flavours. Quite a full-on experience when first sipping - lots of caramel, fruit and alcohol (but not too much). The pleasure lasts the whole bottle and I certainly haven’t tired of it since I first came across it. It’s a great strong ale. One bottle per session though!

Somebody really like this? I drank Fullers Golden Pride only one time in SÃo Paulo, Brazil and it´s terrible, it taste like washmachine water.....

500cc comprada en Jumbo Copiapó. Servida en un vaso English Pint. Hermosa cerveza de color ambar, clara y brillante, con espuma levemente tostada que desaparece rápidamente. En nariz es bastante escurridiza y débil, sin notas de lúpulo y sólo algunas notas de complejidad a cera de abeja y algo de madera. En boca se aconseja dejarla reposar y entregar todos sus sabores... no es para tragar rapidamente ya que se pierde mucho de la experiencia. Notas claras de coñac o aguardiante en barrica, más alcoholica que amarga o dulce. A pesar de lo "fuerte" o alcoholica (8,5%) su cuerpo es medio a leve y su final es sólo alcoholico. Carbonatación nula a los pocos segundos tanto a la vista como en boca. Es para tomar sola o con un buen puro cubano. En general no me gustó mucho... si la experiencia que quisiera es como está cerveza, preferiería un pisco añejado en las rocas.
