Description
Mordue Brewery built up a local strong and loyal customer base which saw demand require no less than 3 expansions of brewery, from the original West Chirton site to a huge brewery in the Tyne Tunnel estate. This new range of beers gained both local and national awards. Mordue ceased brewing on 6th June 2019 and subsequently the brew equipment was auctioned.

However later in 2019 the Mordue brand was relaunched by the Blue Brewing Co. a gypsy brewery which is owned by a group of North Easterners with a wide background of skills who came together, not only to keep the Mordue beers alive but also for their shared passion for Craft Beer.

I've had very few English Milds, and this is close to what I've always imagined them to be: a well-balanced light bodied and easy drinking ale, that maintains flavor and a degree of complexity. Aroma was mildly hoppy with earthy notes and some clean malts. Flavor was well balanced with sweet caramelish malts and earthy peppery hops. Clean finish. Light body. Reddish amber color, medium head and nice lacing.

Malty pale ale with an almost chalky note and plenty of yeasty complexity...
