Bank's Original (mild)

Another beer from my youth, one I drank rather a lot of.

 






Appearance:

An  amber with a large redness in it with a good head that has legs, I swear the picture in the book is of Bank's bitter.

Aroma:

To me it has a smell like grapes with some hops and a caramel mixed in.

Taste:

Initially the taste is dominated by sweet malt flavour however there is burnt fruit/sugar undertones and hops to balance this with a nice carbonation . The finish of fading hop bitterness with a very weak soft red wine flavour mixed in.

Overall:

While not being too complex and as flavourful as other beers I could drink this any day, very quaffable ideal beer for when talking with friends

8.0/10
