Advantages: Excellent Beer, Stocked in many places

Disadvantages: none

Special London Ale is a Fine Bottle condotioned Ale brewed by the Youngs Brewery in Wandsworth.

Bottled conditoned means that a small amount yeast is added to the bottle on bottling. Like Cask ales but to a lesser extent this allows the flavour to be enhanced.

Special London Ale is avaliable in Sainsbury's, Youngs pubs and many other places

The beer is a deep golden brown flavor. There is certainly a strong hop presence in the smell. The beer initially has a slightly sharp hop taste but is not bitter. This gives way to a smooth malty after taste. The beer also has a high alcohol content of 6.4%.

Overall the beer is a good drink. This is certainly one of the better bottled beers that are sold in many places.
