#53 - Fuller's Brewery - Brit Hop

I have often remarked that 'beer doesn't travel' and, as I had this within a pint - glasses - throw of the Brewery, that perhaps goes some way to explaining why I rate it a little more highly than other commentators.  To my mind it is a very pleasant spring beer with a rather witty name.  At 4.1% one can well imagine settling in to a warm spring evening with a fair few of them, yet even as a single pint it serves its purpose well.  The only drawback is that it isn't actually THAT hoppy.  By that, of course, I mean that it is hoppy, but not compared to a number of other beers that go out of their way to promote the fact on their label.  It has a small amount of malt as well, promoting a pleasant balance, something that's often missing in this sort of beer.  If you're a London Pride drinker, give this a second thought.  7/10
