Formerly known as Banks's Original until 2010.

The original Banks's brew. This is the beer that made Banks's famous and is still the world's best selling mild - it's beautifully balanced, smooth and very moreish.

A light chestnut coloured beer, exhibiting a glorious balance. Malty with a perceptible burnt note, it's full bodied with a hint of bitterness counterbalancing the rich, biscuity flavour from the best barley.

The perfect accompaniment to a spicy Indian dish or strong flavoured meats and game.

Аромат английский по хорошему, легкая жженка от солода, немного карамели, намеки на хлебную корочку, причем черного хлеба. Цвет полу темный, пенка средняя, не долгая. Вкус тоже достаточно ровный и питкий. Снова легкая карамелька, жженый солод, как будто хлеб слегка поджарили. При глотке немного ноток от хмеля и травянистости, но не горечи а скорее легкой сухости. В целом хорошо.

Chestnut brown with a creamy off-white head and a sweet, malty aroma. Light bodied albeit a little bit creamy, it has a light caramel malt flavour with a touch of fruit coming through
