Sampled after the McMullen Father’s Day Brewery tour. A very interesting tour followed by a sample of their special 190 anniversary beer. It was a bit cold, but the weather was so ridiculously hot I didn’t mind. This is a typical English bitter with plenty of malt, some bitter hops and a pleasant mouthfeel. A dark colour, some lacing and the malty mouthfeel that is typical of the brewer. It didn’t set my world on fire, but it was an ideal beer for the day and I could have enjoyed a few pints cowering in the shade.
