Smooth as a cashmere cod-piece

An excellent ale produced by Fullers. Smooth, full flavoured. My favourite ale.

The best dark beer in the world

I did a head to head tasting at the weekend of Golden Pride versus Fassla Bambergator(equal abv) and have to say the Fullers brew beat it hands down for complexity of flavour and colour in the glass. Considering the German beer's reputation this is high praise indeed. Golden Pride is a very accurate introduction to the Fullers Vintage ale collection and i'm very much looking forward to the next fifteen bottles though it will take me a while, ideal as this is a 'sipping not supping' beer. Credit to Asahi for letting Fullers brew these excellent ales with no compromise on quality and flavour.

Proper ale

Dinking this strong smooth beauty of an ale is like taking a step back in time when the beers tasted like beer ! Not for the faint hearted but an absolute belter of an Ale . I enjoy mine sipped slowly out of a small glass . I prefer mine slightly chilled but not too cold . Probably my favourite beer .

The cognac of beers

Equivalent in strength to Belgian Abbey beer or barley wine, Fuller's Golden Pride provides one of our richest drinking experiences. Described as the 'cognac of beers' by one leading beer writer, it's a deep-amber drop of distinction that finds favour with even the most discerning palate
