Fuller's Pride Lager

Tap to rate

Pride Lager is a pale lager from the Griffin Brewery, made only from British-grown hops and malt. Pale ale and light pale ale malt with a share of Cara Gold give the body, the golden colour and a gentle biscuit note. Target brings an earthy, herbal bitterness, while the younger Opus hop lays soft citrus over it. The yeast ferments cleanly and keeps the profile balanced, so the beer drinks crisp and light through to a refreshing finish.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp with an understated malt sweetness and subtle biscuit character on the mid-palate. Target delivers a dry, earthy bitterness that integrates seamlessly rather than dominating, while Opus contributes a whisper of citrus that prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional. The palate remains light and dry throughout.
