Alain says his Magic Number is 4.5. From all the beers he has drunk and enjoyed over the years, his favourites all seem to have an ABV of 4.5%. This Magic Number is based on traditional English XBs. This is a premium bitter, soft and smooth with indulgent caramel and toffee flavours and Iightly bittered to give a refreshing malty beer.
