Greene King XX Mild is a fine, dark, mild ale with a distinctive taste and delicate aroma. It draws its characteristics from a special blend of black and crystal malts to give a burnt, roasted flavour while the delicate hint of hops in the nose comes from the Northdown variety.

Cask @ Junction Inn, Southampton. Brown body with a light beige head. Quite nice aroma of roasted malt, smoke and dry fruit and some yeast. Flavor is smooth, mild, dark roasted malt, dry fruit, bread, biscuit and hint of brown sugar. Light bodied and average aftertaste. A very nice and smooth version of Mild, pretty enjoyable if you appreciate the style (and know what it’s about).

Cask @ The Pumphouse, Liverpool. A very dark clear red with a creamy, slightly off-white head. Has a dominant floral taste, quite bushy and dry in this respect with a similar nose. Has a very light texture but not one that feels unhealthy when in the palate.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - chestnut with a copper tinge and a decent head. Nose - delicate nuts and toffee. Taste - mostly caramel perhaps some nuts again so verging on praline. Palate - light to medium bodied with soft round sweet texture and a reasonably balanced finish. A bit thin in parts though. Overall - solid and quite enjoyable.

Cask at Haymarket. Quite a pale red-brown for a mild, expected it to be darker. Thin off-white head. Fruity aromas, light roast malt. Taste is sweet, light nuttiness. Yep, Mild.

Cask at the Clarendon Arms, Cambridge. Dark brown, like the hair of a temptress. Aroma is chocolate, sweet coffee. Sweet taste. Classic mild. Pleasant and refreshing like few beers are. Seek it out.

Cask at Free Press, Cambridge. Pours clear, red-brown with a frothy, off-white head. Faint dark, bready malts in the aroma. Light sweet flavor with notes of doughy brown bread, ripe berries and hints of brown sugar. Light of body and fine of carbonation. Sweet finish with more sugary brown bread, faint toffee, ripe berries, plums. Simple and one-dimensional, but it’s a tolerable mild.
