London Pride
London Pride has been brewed at the Griffin Brewery since the late 1950s and is the brewery's flagship ale. It pours a tawny amber, with Crystal and a little Chocolate malt over a pale base, hopped with Target, Challenger, Northdown and Goldings. The nose brings sweet raisin, biscuit and dried fruit, with a faint orange note from the house yeast. On the palate it is rounded and smooth, toffee and bready malt set against fresh, piney and herbal hops, ending clean with a balanced bitterness.
