Ahhh yes, I think I've seen that particular ale before (though not tried it). I'll be on the lookout for it and Old Hooky. My local distributor has a pretty extensive selection of English Ales and I've tried a few.
I've always enjoyed Fullers ESB, the particularly malty body with the gentle hop finish is very much to my taste (I prefer malty beers like a good Maerzen or Double-Bock, some Porters and Stouts too, though I do enjoy a good crisp Pilsner from time-to-time).
Take some Abbot Ale home and let it breathe a little before drinking.
55 F is good. I'll be envious if you find Old Hooky. That you'll find amazingly subtle.
Fullers is on the A4 into London. The locals drink it like soda-pop.
More London Pride though.
