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 Tesco in Hemel Hempstead, ABV 5%. Amber with a thin tight white head; stewed malt aroma and flavour with some caramel and rather plain, herbal hops with a metallic edge to them. Not particularly pleasant.

Cask handpull at Nag’s Head, Covent Garden. It is copper brown with a lasting beige head. It’s a bitter. Some malt yeast and hop some earth on the hop. Yeast dominant aroma. Cracking condition and tastes very fresh. Only a 2.8/5 though.

Cask handpull at Nag’s Head, Covent Garden. Gold, lasting off white head. Some grassy hop, some fart on the yeast aroma. Quite bitter on finish, bit light in flavour and character. Not much fruit and not much toot.
