McMullen Brewery

Pale Ale·United Kingdom·3.8% ABV·One of 548 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share McMullen No.1 Pale Ale's malty and bitter character. Toasted and malty, with a roasted edge on the nose and a light bitter aftertaste: a rich brown cask Pale Ale at 3.8%, bitterness and sweetness both at 2.5 out of 5. Its origins go back nearly two centuries, and as Farmers' Ale it was the mainstay of hot harvests across the county. It stays balanced towards the malt of the fields it was drunk in and is built to sit light on the palate, the head and the wallet.
