Old Speckled Hen Distinctive English Pale Ale 4 x 440ml
- Classic British Pale Ale – Old Speckled Hen is a renowned English pale ale celebrated for its rich, malty taste with hints of toffee and a fruity aroma.
- Award-Winning Quality – Recognised for its excellence, Old Speckled Hen was awarded silver in the Pale Amber Beer category at the World Beer Awards 2024.
- Ideal Pairings – Old Speckled Hen complements a variety of British dishes, including premium pies, sausages, and weekend BBQs. It also pairs wonderfully with desserts like Sticky Toffee Pudding.
A high proportion of Crystal malt in Old Speckled Hen provides the key toffee/caramel flavour. The yeast used to ferment the beer provides the other key character – estery or banana/pear drop. This estery note provides the fruity and refreshing balance. The hops used add a palate cleansing herbal note and very slight orange citrus. A very malty, full bodied and warming ale.
This great British ale was first brewed in 1979 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the iconic MG car factory in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. And what a celebration! Auburn and copper on the eye; malty, toffee notes on the nose; and then a further lovely helping of malt in the taste, with distinctive hints of caramel balanced by a touch of fruit. As English as English can be.
Brewed by Greene King, one of Britain’s oldest and most respected breweries, Old Speckled Hen is a flagship member of the iconic Hen family. First crafted to celebrate British motoring heritage, it continues to be brewed with the same care, tradition, and commitment to quality that Greene King brings to every pint. With its distinctive flavour and broad appeal, Old Speckled Hen remains a staple of British brewing. Trusted, time-honoured, and proudly enjoyed across the country and beyond.
Smooth, rounded, and full of flavour, Old Speckled Hen is a richly malty ale with layers of toffee sweetness and a gentle fruity aroma. Its deep amber colour hints at the warmth within, while the well-balanced bitterness from traditional English hops adds structure to its mellow body.
