History

Old Speckled Hen was first brewed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory. But why "Old Speckled Hen"? Well, the name is actually derived form the name "owld speckled 'un", a term used to describe an old Mg car used as a factory run-about. Over time the old saloon became covered with flecks of paint and was dubbed the "owld speckled 'un" by locals.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, Old Speckled Hen sparkles like rich, golden amber, intermingled with warming red tones.

The aroma of Old Speckled Hen is particularly distinctive - very fruity, but with rich, malty undertones.

Old Speckled Hen has a wonderful warm flavour, bursting with body. Malt loaf and toffee flavours combine with a bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a beautiful, balanced sweetness without being cloying.

The finish is perfect, dry and satisfying. Go on - indulge yourself!
