Formerly known as Banks's Original until 2010.
The original Banks's brew. This is the beer that made Banks's famous and is still the world's best selling mild - it's beautifully balanced, smooth and very moreish.
A light chestnut coloured beer, exhibiting a glorious balance. Malty with a perceptible burnt note, it's full bodied with a hint of bitterness counterbalancing the rich, biscuity flavour from the best barley.
The perfect accompaniment to a spicy Indian dish or strong flavoured meats and game.

[Cask at Charlie's Bar] The aroma is very light with notes of yeast and esters. The color is amber, it has no head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and fruit. It ends on an OK fruity bitterness. The body is very thin - probably because of the low ABV. I will never think of this as a mild - it neither has the look nor the taste of a mild - it is a light version of a bitter.
