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.

Can, 500ml. Pours dark amber with a coat of light beige head. Aroma of caramel, pears and flowers. Thinnish mouthfeel but not that watery considering the 3.5%. Taste is moderately sweet with singed caramel and biscuits, some pears and clear but modest bitterness at the finish. Not bad at all for a pasteurised can.

Can. An amber beer wtih a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Not a mild in my book.

Can. Copper colour with a thick cream head; very lively to pour, semmed as though there was a widget in the can, but there wasn’t. Sweet malty aroma with a touch of biscuit; fruity but not too sweet in the mouth; and a malty dry finish with a metaillic edge. Not bad!
