Description
McMullens was founded in 1827 by Peter McMullen and since then we have continued brewing in Hertford without a break. The heritage of AK, for example, can be traced back to 1833. We have protected the company’s brewing history throughout that time by acquiring and investing in the public houses. Our pubs are run by our managers or business partners and provide an exclusive market for our beers. To this day, the McMullen family remains firmly committed to our beers because they act as the ‘flag’ for our business.

50cl bottle from Morrisons. An amber pour with no head, but high carbonation; malty aroma; over pasteurised with a caramel taste; and a biscuity finish. Instantly forgetable.

Cask at the Heron on the Lake, Fleet. A plain and ordinary pale ale. Pale amber in colour with a loose white head; biscuity malt aroma; thin, malty body; and a biscuity finish - no hops in sight. Nothing to recommend this at all.

Cask @ White Lion, Heptonstall. Slightly hazed golden ale with a thin head. It’s a crisp ale with a small dry hop evident in its texture. Not blessed with much flavour.

Cask @ White Lion, Heptonstall. Golden with a creamy head. High bitterness ale and the very malty nose gives this away before you’ve even supped it.
