Launched in 1927 by Colonel Jim Porter after three years of development, the 1960 merger of Newcastle Breweries with Scottish Brewers afforded the beer national distribution and sales peaked in the United Kingdom during the early 1970s. The brand underwent a resurgence in the late 1980s and early 1990s. By the late 1990s, the beer was the most widely distributed alcoholic product in the UK. Brewing moved in 2005 from Newcastle to Dunston, Tyne and Wear and in 2010 to John Smiths Brewery in Tadcaster.

Аромат карамельный, слегка солодовый, сахарный. Цвет прозрачный, коричневый. Пены практически нет. Вкус питкий, ничего не вызывает негатива. Карамелька, немного солода. Послевкусие сладкое, сахарное, но к слову сказать не сильное. В целом хорошее питкое пиво, которое вряд ли надоест. Искренне не понимаю большого негатива по поводу данного пива.

This beer has been sinking in my ratings as I have had more brown ales. Somewhat thin but very unadventuresome for a brown ale. Average.

500ml bottle at the Chiltern Taps. Poured a clear copper colour with a lasting frothy off white head. The aroma is malt, cardboard yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, slightly watery, herbal, metallic, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.
