Golden amber coloured and hoppy. Some dryness in a bitter lasting finish.

Oct 8, 2002 Quite good, but nothing distinctive, tastes like most English bitter, slight bread burnt malts, resiny hops, bittersweet, kind of syrrupy, bitter hop finish, pretty nice.

Jun 3, 2002 Quite a degree of floral hops, especially in the aroma. Not a trace of hops bitterness, though. Not bad, though.

April, 2003:I’m not a fan of Marston’s bottled products - though Owd Rodger is a decent ale. This is a typical Marston brew, with the trademark Marston’s malt aroma. I tried this alongside Marston’s Strong Pale Ale. Not a lot of difference. The colour is slightly paler - more sunflower oil than burnt orange. The steady rise of thin bubbles is similar, just less of them. It has the same monk’s head of foam. There is the usual gentle hop bitterness, though well integrated with the malt. Not as sweet, nor quite as fruity as the Strong Pale. Indeed, there is a tobacco quality about the taste. Not a great beer, but certainly drinkable. [2.5]
Dec, 2004: In the Marston line up with the Drouble Drop and the Single Malt. Not much between them. This was the driest with the most hop awareness in the finish. Not great quality, but drinkable. [2.3]

Jun 2, 2002 Bottled. For a product shouting out its hoppyness there is a remarkable lack of hops. Malt dominates the nose, some hope bitterness comes through in the mouth and the finish is spoilt by a sharp prickle of overcarbonation.

Jan 5, 2006 Bottled. Ooh no, didn’t like this one. Sickly sweet and unrelentingly artificial tasting. Glazes the tongue, but not in a pleasant way. Quite bad.
