Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - January.
NOTE: Only ratings for the cask version should be entered here; the bottled version has a separate listing.
A very easy drinking, lightly coloured pale ale brewed to commemorate the burning of a used Burton Union barrel. A sharp bitterness is perfectly complemented with a slight lemon citrus aroma.

Cask@The eagle, NLondon. Pretty boring and typically industrial Marston flavours. Watery mouthfeel, with nothing much standign out, except maybe some light sweet, grainy thin malt characters. Definitely find some chlorine in here as well as a metallic finish.

on cask at the eagle. pretty much like england’s ashes performance, this was limp, weak, feeble and tedious. amber with no head, weird aroma of pears stewed in chlorine, watery, medium bitterness

Cask, Gardener’s Arms, Oxford. Pale oange with a persistant layer of off-white, very dense and fine. Softly hoppy in a sweet spring field kind of way. A a touch of fresh yeast. Very soft malt sweetness, a bit of pear esters, lightest touch of bitterness in the finish. A bit of dried berry flavor edges in half-way through the pint. Subtle but good, in an unassuming, friendly way.
