I'll admit that that was my thought - but I wasn't sure - the request came from the USA to me

Looked at the link and have never seen that label, maybe a spoof to tie in with the TV series "True Blood". I remember a drink sold in Flowers Brewery pubs called Dragons Blood. A common nickname for McEwans Strong Ale was Mau Mau, used to be sold in small dark green bottles about the same size as babycham bottles. Am no longer a member of the drinking fraternity

There was a drink called Amber Ale sold in pint bottles, I believe it was Brown Ale for non drinkers.
I think you mean Starbright, but that was on draught.

No it was definitely Amber Ale, produced by Newcastle Breweries, before they amalgamted and became Scottish & Newcastle.tyronet2000 wrote:

Two Young Ladies would enter the ale house, with restricted funds, and politely ask "giznamber split" and a bottle of Amber and two glasses, either half pint or schooner would be supplied. The more hardy womenfolk would ask "giza bottle a broon split". ie Newcastle Brown Ale. Of course should a "Homeward Bounder" enter and ask the ladies what they were drinking, the same people would request a bottle each.
