Bottle. Barrel and Anvil. Been ages since a Mallinsons beer. Pale gold with a light haze. Slim messy sticky white foam. Nose has lemon hand soap. Not a deal else really. Taste is a little dry and moderately bitter. Light bitter finish. Now I remember why itโs been so long since I had a Mallinsons beer. Shite.

Cask at the Duke of St Albans, Highgate on 20th July 2026. Intense sepia brown with shallow pale tan foam and spot lacing. Rich coffee and chocolate roastiness in aroma. Coffee and earthy roast malts in-mouth with a suggestion of smoke. A satisfying roasty finish. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. A very flavourful mild.

Mallinsons 2000th brew, which means I'm bugged to realise I've had less than 10% of these. It's a pretty good one for the celebration too, especially as it's hard to make golden style ales good or bad - they're all quite close for me in design. It is in its crispness with a favourable dryness in flavour in this instance, with light tropical notes.

Handpull cask at the Prince of Wales, Cambridge Street, Birmingham. Light gold, clear as a bell with an uneven and slightly loose white head. Aroma gives earthy malt, light sweet citrus, melon notes. Sweet taste, an almost savoury yeast flavour swept away by the hoppy citrus. Finish threatens to get too bitter then backs off a little. Gentle body, soft carbonation. A lovely offering from Mallinsons.
