Beer 278 - Daleside Old Leg Over (4 stars out of 5)

Brewed in Harrogate, Yorkshire, bought by Pat and drunk at Pat and Colin's house when we arrived to pick up Mum on our way from Scotland to Wellington.  Pat and Colin's daughter Rachel and her husband David and their children Nathan and Cameron were at Pat's to say hello when we arrived. Lovely to see them after two years.  Last time I saw them was at Mum and Aunti Beat's 90th birthday party.

A very balanced flavour that’s easy to drink. A nutty, fruity taste and aroma with a suggestion of herbs. A traditional Yorkshire beer brewed the traditional way. A wonderfully drinkable beer.

Drinking Old Legover
Old Legover is a beer for drinking every day, through all the seasons, with food, in company or on your own – a traditional Yorkshire brew for those who love good beer.
Did You Know…?
Old Legover was originally called Daleside Country Style.

Old Legover is brewed using quality grain malts from a traditional Yorkshire maltster.

Old Legover takes its name from fell-runners who have to put one leg over thousands of stiles, stone walls and streams in pursuing their traditional sport in the Yorkshire Dales.

One old fell-runner won three races in one day in the 1920s: another won more than 100 races over thirty years."

A very nice bottle of beer, well balanced and pleasant to drink.
