Old Speckled Hen: Review

This English Fine Ale has a 5.2% abv that sports a nice off white head with a reddish orange color to the body. It has a nice little toasted malt and citrusy aroma. The taste is rich and somewhat robust. The toasted malts are pleasing. The spice and citrusy hop flavor adds some good English Ale character. I do like English Ales and this is one that I turn to when I need my English Ale fix.

The mouthfeel is smooth and clean making for a refreshing finish. The carbonation is fine and there is a nice hoppy bite left in the aftertaste.

If you like English Ales this is a must try. Also, look for Hen’s Tooth by Morland.
