Description
In 1961 Tetley Walker, Ind Coope and Ansells merged to form Allied Breweries, which became the world's largest brewing conglomerate. In 1979 Allied Breweries merged with Lyon's Foods to form Allied Lyons, who merged with Carlsberg in 1992.

In 2011 the Brewery in Leeds closed and was sold for redevelopment.

Some beers remain being brewed by Carlsberg.

Any beers from before the initial merger in 1961 should be listed separately.

Wattery, very light on bitterness, odd aroma of sour bread. Very boring and i don’t see myself drinking the other 3.

meh, this isn’t anything great. I like the nitro touch, nice creamy head, but the nose is hoppy, but also slightly skunky, meh nothing special.

660ml bottle from a Premier store. Clear gold pour, nice small creamy looking top which lasts with lacing. Aroma of grains, stewed veg, Belgium yeast, flora. Taste is pale malts, corn, yeast, dry bitter finish. Interesting ale/lager hybrid beer. Best I've had from Carlsberg/Tetley which isn't saying much, but still I quite like it.
