A little late, but this is the first post of the year! This Mild Ale, despite the name, is actually from the Netherlands. This is a English style, made with British malts and hops, but produced in the capital of Zeeland (Middelburg). I served this chilled.

Appearance: Dark brown, but lightens to a nice woody brown when held to the light; it's also slightly opaque. The head is a slightly tanned cream colour, it's medium in size but lasts the whole time.
Aroma: A blend of caramel and honey & resin hop notes, similar to some of the better mild ales.
Flavour: Chocolate and biscuit malt on the front, followed by some honey hop notes that you find in Goldings.
Body: Quite fresh and and a medium thickness.
Aftertaste: A little soapy.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, nice, but nothing special, just a good mild ale.
Price Range: Another deal giving me 10 beers for £14, so £1.40 for a 330ml bottle; a decent price for a nice sessionable ale.
Food Pairings: As it is a good London Mild I think it would go well with a nice beef roast, maybe with a little twist such as an oriental chili rub.
