Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - January & July.
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 handpull at The Pheasant, Ashford. Pulled through a tight sparkler, so hard to tell what this is like. It was fine, a solid enough bitter with a bit of dustiness to the hops and a little biscuit character to the malts. Drinkable with my lunch but did not excite me enough to have a second pint.

Cask Handpump at the Gaffers Row (JDW), Crewe 26/01/2007 Some carbonation. Small white head. Floral aroma. Golden coloured hoppy and slightly fruity with some bitterness in a crisp and dry malt finish.

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.

Cask conditioned at The Golden Lion, Dover. Clouded amber with no head. Thin malty beer with no character to describe, pretty awful in a supposed GBG pub.

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 at The Rock of Gibraltar, Enslow Bridge, Oxon 01-06-09 Pours mid amber with white head. Aroma is mostly fruit and malt. Taste is really quite decent for a Marston’s effort, nicely fruity with a good tangy bite and nice bitter finish. Not bad at all. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask. Half at The Cayo Arms, Cardiff. Amber colour. Missing head. Fruity aroma with a malty touch. Light hoppy fruit notes in flavour supported by dark fruits. Dry ending. Oily (02.02.2007).
