Mashed by the Duke of York on a visit to the Horndean Brewery in 1997, is a vintage ale which will be released starting October 1st, 1999 to celebrate the coming of the new millennium. It has a rich, amber color and a sweet malt and raisin aroma. It is strong with a complex blend of fruitiness, gentle bitterness and a hint of Muscatel grapes.
Millennium Brew is made from the finest Maris Otter Pale Ale malt, Black Malt, and a significant amount of Crystal Malt. Hops used are Goldings, Fuggles and the citrusy, fruity Challenger.
Gales' Millennium Brew has been conditioned for 24 months with some rousing. Gales Millennium Brew has a lower present gravity than its famous "sister" Prize Old Ale. It is therefore less obviously sweet. This allows the hop flavors and fruity estery flavors to predominate.
