Cask, pours a classic amber. Solid bitter taste, but no aroma. Not so bad, would have again for a low ABV bitter

Looks a great pint, and it probably was back in the day. This beer struggles to entice, when such great, flavoursome, characterful beers are now being brewed. A dinosaur of a beer, hanging on by it’s fingernails and a loyal following of BBB drinkers.

This is a very pale and light bitter, not much going on in the way of flavour, but is weak enough to make it a good session bitter

Cask at the King’s Corner, Oakwood, Derby. I found this copper beer very bland and watery and it had that unpleasant sulphur quality often found in Marston’s beers. I wasn’t impressed; that said, I wouldn’t expect beers to be in especially good condition at the public house in question.
