The 'Mild' style has encompassed a variety of beer characteristics in its long history - strong, weak, dark, light, or simply any beer that hadn't been left knocking about for long enough to go stale. In its most popular form as a low-ABV crowd-pleaser, sessionable yet sweet and malt-forward, Mild was a stalwart among the working class and dominated beer sales in British pubs. The rising popularity of Bitter and the advent of European Lagers in the latter half of the 20th century very nearly killed off the Mild, but it lives on and today is itself resurging in popularity. Our take on this style uses 11 malt varieties to create layers of sweet flavours knitted together with a traditional English yeast strain. Light caramel and fudge dominates the palate, with residual notes of dried fruit and nuts finishing off a smooth and satisfying package that will keep you coming back for more.

16oz can from Beeropolis. Ruddy amber pour, silky beige head. Aroma is fruity, plums, toffee. Taste is more of the caramel and pit fruit, sweet with a funky component. Light prune juice vibe.

(Draught at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 28 May 2022) Dark brown colour, hazy, with frothy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with caramel, dark bread and raisins. Malty, slightly roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, prunes, raisins, dark bread and a mild roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. Rich and tasty strong mild. Very nice.

Strong mild is definitely better than a mild mild Hazed nutty pour and a fine head Ok intensity in the aroma Balanced mellow sweetness and a fine soft carbonation level Toffee, bready, nutty and fruity flavor [On tap at Café Sara in Oslo, Norway] Brewery #2414

Keg half-pint at 14:00 in Tilt before the madness of the tasting on 2nd July 2022. Thought I'd have a quiet beer on my own and a little wander around. The beer seemed to slurp out the tap and sure enough it was a bit 'sludgy' body wise. Dirty brown with a purple hue, large beige topping. Almost sour, vinegar like tartness below the prune/date, malty base. Not too sure it should taste like that?
