From the label“A deliciously malty session beer. Mild Ale is a traditional English style with rich malty flavor and relatively low alcohol content. The style is common in English pubs, while rare in America. English malts contribute delicious notes of toffee and roast. The perfect session beer for slowing down at the start the New Year without compromising flavor. For the freshest flavor, store in your fridge.”
