Day 5: London Pride Premium Ale from Fuller's

At a whoppin 4.7%, this Premium Ale is soft in flavour, but delivers an amazing depth of flavour. Cappucino and Dark chocolate dance on the tongue before a creamy finish. A slightly metallic aftertaste, possibly from the can itself.

On Fuller's London Pride:
London Pride, Fuller's flagship beer, was crowned the Supreme Champion at the 2000 International Beer and Cider competition. London Pride was named Champion Best Bitter at the CAMRA Great British Beer Festival in 1995, and in 1979 when it also achieved the ultimate accolade of Beer of the Year. It also received the gold medal at the 2002 and 2001 International Beer and Cider competitions. Additionally, judges awarded the bronze medal to London Pride at the 2002 Great British Beer Festival in the Best Bitter category.

On Ale (from Wikipedia):
Ale is a type of beer brewed from malted barley using a warm fermentation with a strain of brewers' yeast.[1][2] The yeast will ferment the beer quickly, giving it a sweet, full bodied and fruity taste. Most ales contain hops, which help preserve the beer and impart a bitter herbal flavour that balances the sweetness of the malt.
