Another post-work beer in the sunshine. A recent Friday
evening (the week before last I think!) found me and some colleagues at the
Crown Tavern in Clerkenwell Green. Whilst the Crown doesn’t compare to some of
the incredible pubs in the area it usually does have something decent on cask
and also has a large outdoor area. My choice was Ilkley’s Mary Jane, a golden
blonde ale from the Yorkshire brewery. This is a lovely summer beer and I’d be
quite happy to see this on the bar again in the coming months (assuming it gets
a bit warmer). It’s light and low on alcohol at just 3.5% but is well-hopped
with a pleasing citrus bitterness. It has a nice lemon flavour with a hint of
pine in there too. I could quite happily spend a summer day quaffing pint after
pint of this and I imagine that is what the brewers had in mind…Brewery: Ilkley Brewery
Country: United Kingdom
ABV: 3.5%
