COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pasteurised bottle, can and keg (4.1% in the UK, 4,7% for export).
Outstanding Premium Ale.
"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."
Michael Jackson 500 Classic Brews

A well balanced smooth pint. Smooth with just a touch of diacetyl (butterscotch flavor). What London ales are all about. But you MUST drink it from a hand pump. The bottle just doesn’t do it justice.

Pours clear bright amber. Smell is fruit nut and malt. Medium carbonation. Really well balanced taste. Malt, stewed fruit and mild hops.

WheatKing (192) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 1, 2012
A top quality bitter. Just because it’s popular doesn’t make it crap... look at Hoegarden. The malt is very smooth and the hops have a nice ring to them. Greensleeves in my nasal and upper digestive passages.

BreWedge (30) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 25, 2012
On tap @ the Oxley Toronto. Poured a deep clear orange/amber with a thin, patchy offwhite head. Aroma was sweet honey and malt. Taste was heavy malt with a mild coppery bitterness. Fairly light body, average carbonation, with a biting medium finish. Very nice bitter.

Dark amber, clear body with small white head. Bready, smokey, yeasty aroma. Full bodied, medium sweetness, yeasty with a bit of hops.

Digital_Aura (78) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 23, 2012
500ml can. Lovely tawny-orange body (Lovibond 12) with medium long-lasting head. Develops nice tight lacing in the glass. Smells of cider and hops. It's a fresh spring-like aroma. Looks very appealing. Kinda expected more carbonation from this. Palate is watery and soft. Tastes are stacked: sweet fruitiness spiked with bitter hops and caramel hints ending with buttery character. Very good beer.
