About
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.

No head. Blackcurrant and apple flavor. Just a hint of maltiness. Not much hoppiness. There's not very much to say about this beer. Drinkable but uninteresting, probably.

Hand-pulled pint in The Nag's Head, Covent Garden on 8th Aug 2019. Decent enough, amber bodied with a slight red hue, white crown. Nice fruity nose and flavours, good balance between the hops and maltiness. Liked it.
