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, 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.

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 (handpulled) at the Wellington, Birmingham. A fairly plain jane kind of pint, all rather gentle and understated. Some washy lemons in there, nothing too exciting but still competent.

(Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 6 Aug 2009) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit and dusty hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of biscuity malt, apricots and dusty hops in the finish. Below medium body, sweetish. Refreshing and drinkable, but hardly exciting.

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.
