Beer #4: Fuller's London Pride
Served: Beer in the UK is dispensed from a cask via a beer engine that forces air into the beer. This differs from a conventional tap, which uses a CO2 tank to pressurized the keg and keep the CO2 dissolved in the beer until... Yaaay solution thermodynamics.
Pours: Golden brown
Smell: Concentrated Budweiser
Taste: Imagine a more flavorful Budweiser, with far less carbonation, served 20 degrees warmer than your usual ice cold Bud. Add a slight creaminess, and you have Fuller's. I could drink this all day, and at 4.1 ABV, I would be full before I was drunk.
Price: My mom got a half pint of something similar to go with mine. This set us back almost 9 pounds. This is a problem, because that's almost $16. If we split it fairly, my mom's beer was $6, and mine was $10. Not a whole lot of bang for your buck.
Overall Review: 5/10 on taste (it wasnt a revelation in beer), but 2/10 if you factor in the big city sticker shock.
