This Original Mild has been continuously brewed in Hertford by six generations of McMullens for over 185 years. A balanced mixture of pale, crystal and chocolate malts form the basis of this 3.7% amber cask ale, with one variety of Kentish hops - Whitbread Goldings - adding bitterness and light aroma.

Cask at Bridge House, Hertford on 19th August 2009. Brown/copper with white lacing head enhanced by thirsty drinking. Very refreshing with a delayed, intense nutty finish. Rounded and easy drinking with slight saline mouthfeel.

Cask conditioned at Nag’s Head, London
Clean amber color. It has traces of yeast in the aroma, Forgettable flavor, just some more caramel than the Mc Mullen Cask Ale, but as boring.

Deep golden color. A bit of diacytle. A bit buttery and a bit of nothing. Boring, but I think that is what they are aiming for.
