Apr 1, 2007 Bottle, amber colour when poured, no head as such. Very malty aromas, feels to me a bit thin on the palette. Typical marstons beer, not one of their best.

Mar 15, 2007 Massive malt and hop aroma as the bottled is opened. Pours an amber colour with small head. Flavour is quite dry and hoppy but the texture is thin so this beer works as a thirst quencher.

Dec 17, 2006 Orange amber pour, artificially creamy mouthfeel. Fruity hop bitterness and a touch of sulphur. Faintly flowery. Nothing unpleasant, but about as exciting as the sport it commemorates.

Dec 10, 2006 Bottle. I’ve tried to be fair with this beer, I really have. The best part about it is the lingering bitter finish which is very fresh and thirst-quenching. That said, the smell is a bit sour and metallic, the colour a bit thin and orange, and the flavour a bit watery and, once again, metallic. As an Aussie I don’t mind the dig (and I don’t know why others are doubting this being related to the Ashes - my bottle says "crafted to commemorate the England Cricket Teams’ historic winning of the Ashes in 2005"), but I think maybe they could have used a better beer - this one seems more fitting for the 2006/7 Ashes!
