Old Speckled Hen    5.2%    (Greene King)                                500 ml bottle

Named after an unusual, speckled, vintage MG, Old Speckled Hen is an exceptional pale ale which owes its distinctive character and dry taste to a unique strain of yeast first used in 1896.

Old Speckled Hen has a deliciously smooth, rich, malty taste, bursting with character and aroma. Malt loaf and toffee flavours combine with a bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a beautiful balanced sweetness.

Brewed longer for a distinctive, full flavour.  Greene King first brewed Abbot Ale during the 1950s and its popularity has never waned. Indeed, it was recently named as one of the top 10 ales that licensees would most like to stock. Abbot Ale is brewed with pale crystal and amber malts to give an attractive colour and rich, malty taste. Challenger hops give it bitterness with a spicy overtone and to really boost the taste and aroma to the maximum it is late-hopped with Fuggles to provide the floral tones and fruity esters.
