Red Fox versus London Pride
"I’ve been a fan of London Pride for almost 60 years. Red Fox doesn’t beat it but comes close. I like the weaker Red Fox bottles as the bottled Pride is on the strong side. London Pride is my favourite real ale."
First seen in autumn 1999, Fuller’s Red Fox is back on the bars this year with that same rich, red ruby colour and toasted oats flavour that make it the perfect pint for the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.

"You asked for a review on this product? Honestly? Shambles comes to mind! Ordered a case of 8 as well as some other merchandise and twice DHL did not deliver! The first time was damaged and the second time it was “lost” I think Fullers need to get a different courier company! It’s a shame as love their beers usually but won’t order again because of these issues!"
"I ordered a Christmas box of all assorted fullers brands, the Red Fox Ale was one of the stand out beers so I have ordered an 8 pack for this winter. Shipping was quick and although I now know the use by date was only a couple of months time I emailed to ask why they do not advertise use by dates and got a satisfactory reply within a day about stock quantity etc. So I will just be sure not order too large a shipment in future"
"The Red Fox ale is amazing. First tasted at the Fuller’s tour but I have since ordered a case. But the DHL deliver service is appalling, they delivered a three case order to someone else then they broke one of the replacements then tried to deliver another order to the same incorrect post code again. What this means is I can never order from Fuller’s direct again. And nobody really cares so frustrating and Fuller’s don’t seem worried about it."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Red Fox Tawny Red Ale, very similar to the experience of London Pride. Not taking the crown in popularity from LP just yet, at least for me personally. It is possibly a neck and neck alternative if you fancy something with a twist, or would prefer a different taste with a meal & it compliments perhaps more specific dishes given its palette. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of LP and wants to give it a night off."
"a pleasant and refreshing ale, perfect for spring evenings. Perhaps doesn't quite have the depth of other offerings from Fullers but excellent value none the less"
"Red fox is a lovely easy drinking autumn ale (but I'd drink it all year round;) It is nutty and more complex malts than LP, despite a slightly lower ABV. Very refreshing, could be drunk all evening or before moving on to something stronger."
"This is one of the few Fullers beers that I hadn't tasted. Very good ,full flavoured,thirst quenching drop. Genuinely lovely caramelised malty finish. I would recommend this unhesitatingly. I will be buying more."
"Great service and fast well packaged delivery. Nice tasting ale, shades of malt . Very drinkable . Better cool than ice cold"
"Lovely red bitter with full flavour without the high alcohol content. Very drinkable in hot or cold weather. Once I tried it I put it on my list of favourite beers."
