## Summary

Old Speckled Hen is a traditional British ale first brewed in 1979 by Greene King to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. It is characterized by a distinctive rich, malty taste featuring toffee and caramel notes, balanced by fruity aromas derived from its blend of Crystal and pale malts and specific hops. This full-bodied ale is positioned as a classic accompaniment to hearty British fare such as roasts, pies, and sausages.
