Commercial Description:
Bottle & keg; Pasteurised.
Production moved from Youngs to Wells & Youngs in 2007.
Ingredients: Maris Otter and Crystal malt; Fuggles and Golding hops. Dry hopped with English Pilgrim hops.
"St George's Ale is a dragon slayer of a brew. Its deliciously smooth, full flavoured and powerful hoppy aroma make it a full bodied English beer that would ward off the most ferocious of fire-breathing legends."

Hazy copper pour with a puffy off white head that shrinks with time. Nose is wood, malt, yeast, bit of soap. Taste is citrus, bitter, semi sweet malt. Hard to describe and pin point. Very mild and drinkable with a decent mouthfeel. Average.

pours hazy apricot, nice off-white head, bubbly and lacy. nose is musty malt and sweet tea. earthy flavor with copper tone (funny, huh?). probably goes well with steak and kidney pie. who can understand our friends across the pond? something sticks in the back of the throat on the finish, not sure what.

Bottle from Plano Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours a hazy gold with rich offwhite head. Aroma of sweet citris. Flavor is lightly sweet with grapefruit notes. Mouthfeel is medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.
