Going
back 50 years or so, mild beers were considered the staple drink
of beer lovers. Every ale house and licensed premises served the
locally brewed mild, and bitter beers were very much an acquired
taste. Since those heydays 'bitter' has replaced less well hopped
beers as the preferred choice.
A
good mild beer is made with higher roast malts and should be packed
with caramel flavours, with just a touch of sweetness. The colour
can be anything from the usual dark hues through to a more amber
coloured appearance. But as with all ales, flavour must be the deciding
factor.
Buffy's
Mild is somewhat stronger than the mass pro- duced brands, and reflects
the current preference for mid strength beers. Marris Otter and
Chocolate malts are blended to produce this rich easy drinking ale.
