St George's Ale is a dragon slayer of a brew. Its deliciously smooth, full flavoured and powerful hoppy aroma make it a full bodied English beer that would ward off the most ferocious of fire-breathing legends.

Cask. Dark copper colour, very small head. OK, semi-malty aroma. Flavour reminds me of weak cough-syrup. Low carbonation.

(Cask at Lamb, Holborn, London 20 Apr 2006) Dark copper colour with almost no head. Nose is rather sweet, malty and fruity with some flowery hop notes. Taste is dominated by malt, starts somewhat sweet, with a slightly drier finish with a flowery, hoppy and almost "chocolatey" character.

Cask handpull at the Lamb Tavern, Leandenhall Market. Copper colour with sparse beige head. Yeasty hop aroma with sufficient drying hop on end. Fullish in mouth. Quite rounded malts, but lacks intensity of flavour. Some red berry fruit. Hop is a bit underdeveloped
