We don’t usually do things in halves, but it seemed like a good idea to give you people a good, full flavoured 2.5% beer.

Brewed using Crystal, Caramalt and Chocolate malts, Speight’s Mid Ale enjoys a smooth caramelised flavour and aroma, which is contrasted by the bitterness of Pacific Jade and Green Bullet hops.

The finished product is a perfectly balanced, mid strength beer that’s still full of flavour.

[33cl bottle at a restaurant in Blenheim, NZ.] A dark amber pour with a short lasting white head; malty aroma with a little spice; rather watery but with a sweet nutty malt taste and a light bitterness. A pleasantly drinkable lower alcohol beer.

Bottle at Chamois Bar & Grill, Malta. Brown with off white head. Malty, bland, bit skunky, hard to drink, watery, unpleasant bitterness.

Draft. A brown beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel, mslt, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of nuts, caramel, and nuts, leading to a bitter finish.
