The latest addition to Greene King's range of Hen beers, this limited edition ale is bottle conditioned and brewed with malt, hops, pure water and yeast. The tastes and aromas of this beer is full-bodied and warming, with masses of characteristic toffee and fruit, notes of citrus and orange, and a traditional English hop bitterness. Nose: Superb Goldings hop aroma ( considering using Goldings for a flavour addition at the end of the boil) More than 40 years on, this unique and distinctive ale continues to be a finely balanced beer with a distinctive rich, toffee-malt taste and fruity aroma. I can attest to the validity of the above notes for the pre-1999 version. In my experience the current export version is not as balanced or as rich and comes across a little dialed down in the flavour department. Not to worry though as is what this blog is about, trying to recreate the original and sample the ale fresh as John Morland intended.Walsh, Dominic (10 December 2003).

Daniel O'Leary ( brewer and former cooper), had developed the recipe for a private beer in his garden shed in Abingdon and the recipe was then used when the brewery decided to release a celebration beer for the MG anniversary. [3] [4] The beer, an amber coloured Pale Ale, was then brewed at the brewery. It was brewed at a gravity of 1050 to denote the 50th anniversary. 25 barrels, 1200 dozen half-pints bottles, were produced, mostly for the promotional activities at MG, but also for limited distribution to Morland houses in the Abingdon area. What had been produced as a one-off celebration brew, proved so popular that a second batch had to be brewed in time for the main celebrations which were to be held in Abingdon over the weekend of the actual anniversary. [5] Other English beers you may want to consider include Doom Bar, Hobgoblin, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, St Austell’s Tribute, Harvey’s Best Sussex Bitter, and Badger Best Bitter from Hall & Woodhouse. Bitter is a form of pale ale by the way.
