Poured this one into my I&G Tulip glass. The colour is a striking red-brown, almost a perfect mix of the two. The head, frankly, smells sort of.. off. The head smells like an adjunct lager with citrus notes (and my bottle is nowhere near expiry, so staleness is not the issue here). The beer itself smells a little better, there are some malty notes and some orange peel aromas also. The mouthfeel is much better than the smell; there is some moderate carbonation going on which leaves a pleasant numbness on the tongue. The taste is nothing special in my honest opinion; it is refreshing going in and does not have much detectable booziness, but it just tastes way too bitter for me. After going further into the bottle, I am picking up more of the orange notes that I described earlier, but it`s still not something I`d be eager to grab at the store again.

Overall, the colour is downright beautiful for a beer, and it feels pleasant in my mouth. The smell is a little off, but the taste somewhat redeems that. Regardless, I cant justify a repeat purchase of this.

Even though a little "thin", this beer could be drank by the pint all night.
Pours with 1/4 inch head that disappeared within 10 minutes. Has a good amber color. Aroma is hoppy but not over powering. Very smooth without a tasting weak, well balanced.

4.05/5 rDev +2%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Clear golden-amber with a creamy head about two fingers in height. Very nice aroma that actually harkens a bit to darker Belgian ales - fruity esters evoking raisin and fig, but without the yeast notes. Mild floral, herbal hop aroma.

Light malt body and mild bitterness. Despite the light body, it's by no means watery. Hops offer a tea-like, herbal quality. Fruity esters are more prominent than in a typical APA, with a corresponding reduction in hoppiness. This is preferable for me in a lower gravity beer. Texture is soft and sudsy. It'd be all too easy to throw down pint after pint of this.

Great flavor and aroma in a small package (in terms of ABV). London Pride remains the best sub-5% beer I've had to date.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured from a 500ml bottle to an English tulip

A: Typical pale ale color. golden color with with an amber tint. One finger of head with decent retention. Carbonation appears to be very low.

S: Floral and a bit earthy hops are present to the nose but nothing overpowering. Just the right amount for something of this style.

T: Once again hops are good and appropriately mild. Floral and earthy are the key flavors. A little bit of crystal malt caramel like character is present and balances the hop bitterness nicely. Perhaps a tad of honey as well. A tad of citrus hops but its very subtle and in the background.

M: Very smooth due to the low carbonation which is presumably due to the tradition of lowly carbed cask ales that were popular in English beer history.

O: Equivalent to the comfort food of beer. Fairly simple and not complex but still a well done beer with good balance and a nice flavor. I really liked this beer and it appear to be a bottled emulation of traditional cask ales. Pub quality in a bottle
