Aug 6, 2009 Cask at the Pheasant, Ashford, Kent. This really hit the spot for me - an excellent example of what a summer ale should be. Full of hop character, but also light and refreshing. Straw coloured with a dense cream head; fresh leafy hop aroma; resinous bitter flavour at first , leading to some biscuity malts; a clean fresh hoppy finish. More please.

Jul 24, 2008 Cask at the Woodmans. Served too cold and through a sparkler that would have thought you were having it from nitro keg. Aroma is typically marstons sweet sulphury character. Tste is nutty malts mixed with the sulphury hops. Not my deal and i dont understand how marstons manage to survive as a brewery.

Jul 12, 2008 Cask at Derby Festival ’08. Thanks to DeepBlack for this one. Bright amber. Farmyardy hop aroma. Sweet malty taste, quite thin, later developing a biscuity quality. Some bitterness. Good sessioner.
