»Old Speckled Hen

I first drank Old Speckled Hen in the States, before finding it on cask — the traditional English hand-pump for serving "real" ale — . I enjoy it from the bottle as well, because its mild, slightly soapy flavour comes out nicely from a shelved bottle.
I put this bottle in the 'fridge for a few minutes and then had it, but without the appropriate pint glass: the frothy head looked a little funny on the short tumbler I used. The beer has a reddish-brown color. I don't think it is a traditional old ale, because it did not have a bottle date nor a high ABV (5.2%, about half of an old ale). Tasty stuff.
