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.

[i] Cask at The Plough, Appleton, Oxon, leg three of the Thames Tipple [/i] Very dark brown colour with some light malts on the nose. Caramel in the mouth and very flavoursome for such a low abv, a well kept beer that was really enjoyable.

Fairly nice looking, dark ruby colour with a frothy head. Limited aroma, slightly malty. Sweet. malty flavour, hint of apples, although not as strong as most GK beers in that department. Very little after-taste save some residual sweetness. Drinkable, but hardly a good example of it’s style.

Half pint on cask. Served much too chilled. Some sweetness in flavour. Roasted malted water. Not so far away from coca-cola in colour, aroma and flavour. Hard to discern any mild ale taste and mouthfeel at all (Trafford Arms, Norwich 24.09.2006).

Cask@O’Connells, Tampere. Very dark brown color, creamy off-white head. Malty aroma with some molasses. Very mild (watery), roasted-sweet flavor. Smokey-bready aftertaste. Ok, but a bit too light even for session beer.
