About This Beer

Fuller’s London Pride is a classic Amber Ale, also known as an English Bitter, and is one of Britain’s most celebrated beers. Brewed by Fuller’s Brewery at the historic Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, West London, this timeless ale is admired for its exceptional balance, rich malt complexity, and subtle hop character. At 4.1 % ABV, it offers a smooth, easy-drinking experience while still delivering layers of flavour that showcase the best of traditional British brewing.

Its name pays homage to the resilient London Pride flower, a symbol of the city’s spirit, and the beer reflects that same character: dependable, full of personality, and loved by generations of drinkers. Whether served in a cosy pub or poured fresh at home through a PerfectDraft system, it’s a beer that captures the heart of English ale culture.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep golden-amber pour topped with a soft, creamy off-white head that lingers just long enough to invite the first sip.

• Aroma: Warm malt notes of biscuit and caramel rise first, followed by a gentle floral hop fragrance with hints of earthy spice.

• Flavour: Sweet caramel and toasted malt lead, balanced by a light, zesty bitterness. Subtle fruit undertones and herbal hop accents complete the profile.

• Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-bodied, and softly carbonated, offering a crisp yet satisfying finish.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep golden colour with excellent clarity and a lasting white head.

• Aroma: Biscuit and light toffee malt with citrus peel and a subtle floral note.

• Flavour: Balanced malt sweetness upfront, swiftly met by lemony, gently bitter hop notes from Bobek, Goldings and Cascade; clean, moreish finish.

• Mouthfeel: Medium-light body, fine carbonation, crisp and refreshing with a smooth, repeatable balance.

Food Pairings
Trooper Original’s balanced, citric profile makes it a versatile partner across weeknight classics and weekend spreads. The zesty hop notes cut beautifully through fried or fatty dishes, so think fish and chips with tartare sauce, calamari with lemon, or buttermilk fried chicken. The biscuity malt is a natural match for pork sausages and herby mash, pork pies, Scotch eggs, or a ploughman’s board with cheddar, Branston and pickled onions. For burgers, it keeps pace with lightly spiced patties and cheddar without overwhelming the palate, while the crisp finish refreshes after each bite. Roast chicken with lemon and thyme plays directly into the beer’s citrus character, as do grilled prawns with garlic butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon. On pizza night, pair with classic margherita, pepperoni, or mushroom and caramelised onion – the mild bitterness tidies up the richness of cheese and cured meat. For vegetarian options, try halloumi fries with a yoghurt-lemon dip, leek and cheddar tart, or a citrus-dressed couscous salad with roasted vegetables. Cheese pairing is easy: mature cheddar, Red Leicester or a mild Stilton accentuate the ale’s malt depth while the gentle bitterness keeps the combination lively. Finish with lemon drizzle cake to echo the beer’s subtle lemon note.

About Robinsons Brewery & TROOPER
Robinsons Brewery (Frederic Robinson Ltd.) has brewed in Stockport, Greater Manchester since 1838, remaining a proud, family-owned independent across six generations. The brewery’s cask-led heritage champions balance, drinkability and British brewing tradition, values that underpin the TROOPER range created with Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson. Launched in 2013, TROOPER quickly became a global success and today is exported widely, with cumulative sales counted in the tens of millions of pints. That popularity stems from a simple idea executed with precision: honour classic British ale character while keeping the flavour crisp, refreshing and unmistakably moreish.
Trooper Original, the flagship 4.7% Premium British Ale, showcases English brewing ingredients and restraint – biscuity malts, citrus-bright hops, a clean ferment, and a moderate bitterness that invites the next sip. Over the years, the collaboration has expanded to seasonal and special releases, but the core remains a beacon for fans who want traditional British flavour brewed to modern standards. Robinsons’ consistency and cellaring expertise ensure Trooper pours perfectly whether on cask in a pub or via your home PerfectDraft machine. Awards and acclaim have followed across the range, while the brewery continues investing in quality, sustainability and community initiatives in the North-West of England. For fans of Iron Maiden, British beer, or simply well-made golden ales, Trooper Original is a reliable, characterful choice that anchors any PerfectDraft rotation.

Who it’s for
Perfect for classic ale drinkers who value balance and subtlety over extremes, Maiden fans building a themed bar, and hosts who want a dependable craft beer delivered option that suits mixed crowds.
