Has Tax Destroyed Beer? 3.4%, £1.00 Bottle Test. Greene King IPA, Old Session Hen, Banks’s Mild

Описание: Welcome back to Thursday Beer Club! In this episode, we’re diving into three classic British ales: Old Session Hen, Greene King IPA, and Banks Amber Bitter. If you love traditional pub beers, balanced flavour profiles, and easy-drinking session ales, this lineup is right up your street.

We start with Old Session Hen, a smooth and approachable amber ale that delivers gentle malt sweetness with subtle fruity notes. It’s light, refreshing, and incredibly drinkable — the kind of beer you could happily enjoy over a long evening without overwhelming your palate. Expect a soft caramel backbone, mild bitterness, and a clean finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Next up is Greene King IPA, brewed by Greene King. This is a classic English-style IPA — not a modern hop bomb, but a balanced, sessionable ale with earthy hops, light citrus hints, and a biscuity malt character. It’s all about harmony rather than intensity. The bitterness is present but restrained, making it an easy choice for traditional ale fans and newcomers alike.

Finally, we review Banks Amber Bitter, crafted by Banks's Brewery. This amber bitter brings a slightly richer malt profile with toasty notes, gentle nuttiness, and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. The bitterness is balanced beautifully against the sweetness, creating a satisfying and classic pub-style pint.

Throughout the video, we break down aroma, flavour, mouthfeel, and overall drinkability — plus we give our honest ratings and discuss which of these ales we’d order again.
