Aroma: Grapefruit citrus, Tropical fruits
Taste: Biscuity malt, grapefruit citrus, resin hop
Malt: Pale & Crystal malts, Rye malt
Hops: Chinook, Willamette, Cascade, Tettnang
Perfect with: grilled fish, BBQ prawns or fruity ribs.
Additional Notes: Pale and crystal malt give biscuity and toffee notes and the addition of rye malt adds a touch of spiciness and astringency. Late hopping with Chinook plus Willamette, Cascade and Tettnang adds fragrant fresh grapefruit citrus, tropical fruits and a clean fresh-picked resin hop character. Fragrant and fruity with a satisfying bitterness.
Contains Malted Barley
Old Speckled Hen is popular with ale drinkers up and down the country and renowned for its unique character and consistent quality.
The great British ale was first brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. It was even named after the factory’s old run around car which was often parked outside the paint shop. Spattered in paint, the car became known as the “Owld Speckl’d Un”. The eagle-eyed might even see the resemblance between MG’s logo and the Old Speckled Hen label!
More than 35 years on, the great premium ale continues to be a finely balanced beer with a distinctive rich, malty taste and fruity aroma.
