Old Speckled Hen English Pale Ale - Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

A high proportion of Crystal malt in Old Speckled Hen provides the key toffee/caramel flavour. The yeast used to ferment the beer provides the other key character - ester or banana/pear drop. This ester note provides the fruity and refreshing balance. The hops used add a palate cleansing herbal note and very slight orange citrus. A very malty, full bodied and warming ale. 5% ABV
