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 at GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is spicy with light notes of wood and caramel, leading to a dry end. The body is thin.
