Is this Tetley’s strongest Mild Ale? I’m not totally sure. True, it’s parti-gyled with X3 Mild. But I’ve seen beers marketed as Strong Ales or Burton Ales that were parti-gyled with Mild Ales. Does it matter if it was sold as Old Ale/Strong Ale or Mild Ale? Not really.
Not much to discuss about the recipe, as this was brewed together with the X3 above. Just over 100 barrels of each were in the parti-gyle. Which is a decent quantity for stronger beers. Though there were fewer brews than for the weaker Mild Ales.
Being stronger than X3, the colour is darker. Hitting a classic Dark Mild colour of around 20 SRM.
