Old Speckled Hen — a short review 'cause it's late.

I had this English beer in a proper pint glass, chilled a bit after a bowl of beet soup and some bread. It was a nice red colour with a thin head and some effervescence. Early on, there was lots of sweet and malty, and later on, more bitter hoppiness. It went down really nicely the sweet, heavy soup. I think it's probably a good with-food beer, and definitely pretty different from the beers I've tasted so far in the set.
