Banks Brewing Old Glory English Brown Ale Can 500ml

"A proper English Brown Ale with rich toasted malt, caramel and a smooth, nutty finish."

Banks Brewing Old Glory English Brown Ale is a cracking change of pace from the big, juicy IPAs the Seaford crew are famous for. This one takes inspiration from traditional English brewing, delivering a beautifully balanced brown ale with rich malt flavours, gentle caramel sweetness and a lovely toasted, nutty character. It's smooth, comforting and full of flavour without being overly heavy. If you enjoy classic malt driven beers or fancy something a little different from your usual pale ale, Old Glory is well worth a look.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Toasted bread, roasted nuts and caramel malt, with hints of biscuit, toffee and subtle earthy hops.

Palate: Smooth and rounded, with flavours of toasted malt, caramel, biscuit and gentle nuttiness. A touch of chocolate and soft earthy hop character adds complexity, while restrained bitterness keeps the beer nicely balanced.

Finish: Smooth and satisfying, with lingering toasted malt, gentle caramel and a pleasantly dry, nutty finish.

Serving Suggestions

A terrific match for roast beef, grilled sausages, shepherd's pie or a classic beef and mushroom pie. The rich malt character also works beautifully with barbecue pork, burgers and mature cheddar.

For something a little different, try it alongside roasted nuts, mushroom dishes or a good ploughman's lunch.

This is a lovely beer for relaxed evenings when you're after something full of flavour without the punchy bitterness of an IPA.
