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.

Cask Conditioned at The Spice of Life, London
Amber color, thin creamy head. The aroma is lightly yeasty, as the flavor is. Some caramel flavor, very light apple touch, no special hopping. Easy and not in prime conditions.

Hazy deep blond color. Breadish aroma and flavor, quite simple and weak. Low bitterness. Forgettable.

Clean amber color. It has traces of yeast in the aroma, Forgettable flavor, just some more caramel than the Mc Mullen Cask Ale, but as boring.

Deep golden color. A bit of diacytle. A bit buttery and a bit of nothing. Boring, but I think that is what they are aiming for.
