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.

On gravity at Swindon beer festival, 27/10/2011. Medium brown with no head. Sweet caramel in flavour and aroma with a touch of nuttiness and not much in the finish. Inoffensive.

My staple beer when I lived in Suffolk. Misunderstood, but a decent enough Mild, when you want to avoid heavy or high alcohol beers. Certainly several notches above the American light beers.
