McEwans Export

Brewed by John Smiths (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Bitter
Tadcaster, England

the best beer i have ever had, simply perfect

McEwans is one of my Favourites, but don’t serve it too cold as it can become bitter in flavour.

Without a doubt my favourite commercially produced beer, it’s great. The taste is dominated by roasted malts and caramel followed by a fruity aftertaste. It is very drinkable and can be taken all night. Ideal session beer and nice on it’s own. Try mixing this with a sweetheart stout to give a great version of a sweet black n tan.

An excellent brew. Along the same lines as Fuller’s ESB. Full bodied. Better balanced that Sammy Smith. SS beers are too malt heavy.

this is the real stuff! absolutelt nothing else wull do ! its just like the bog fairies came oot o their peaty cubbyholes and cast a magic spell ower this fantastic beer the smootheness is fantastic a perfect accompanyment to a single malt or even a good blended whusky which mostly can be every bit as good as a standard malt ! Dont be fooled by the whusky snobs.Weel noo, be warned that is yur reccomended limit for your daily consumption of alcohol any more could cause a wee bittie liver scarring nb this is a fairly strong beer,so mak yer nippie sweetie awee ane .

I actually prefer this beer when it’s ice cold. I find it nicer from a can than a bottle. It’s sold in some bars here but not that nice on draught. An almost fruity beer.

Very malty - giving a good taste. Best consumed on draught as can version can be rather tinny.

Served in a pint glass at the Commercial Hotel, Dufftown, Scotland. A quite handsome beer from the tap.Clear chesnut brown with a nice frothy white head. Copious laceing left down the edges of the glass as it is drained. Very malty aroma so typical of Scottish beers. The tase is pleasing, well balanced of course the sweetness of the malts dominate but there are obvious signs of hops too near the end of the mouthful.Also a soft nuttiness, reminiscent of a brown ale. Pretty good on the palate, though on the thin side. A most drinkable session ale, fresh from the tap..I think this beer is underrated.
