Old Speckled Hen Just Got Low Alcohol

Last week my wife brought back from Sainsbury's a new low alcohol beer to try, Morland Old Speckled Hen Low Alcohol Beer 500ml bottle. Now when I use to drink I had always liked Old Speckled Hen so I was keen to see how this one tasted.

Now one of the issues which I have always found with non-alcohol and low alcohol ales is there can be a bitter after taste. With pale ales this is less noticeable and with this Old Speckled Hen it was only very slight. With the darker ones this is very off putting but for pale they seem to get this just right. I don't know if this is from the processing of making a low alcohol version or just that my taste buds have changed due to not drinking.

This Low Alcohol Old Speckled Hen works really well. I cannot say if it tastes like normal Old Speckled Hen because I haven't drunk for nearly 6 years. I would definitely recommend and I will have it again.
