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.

Cask. Reddish amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some toasted notes as well as dark fruits, wood and rather toffeeish. Flavour is quite much the same, but also has some raisins and mild riped fruits in it.

On tap at The Wych Elm in Burntwood, pours bronze. Aroma and flavour of light toasted malt and bitter hops. Smooth, but boring.
