Brewed by Marstons (Marstons plc)
Style: Bitter
Burton-on-Trent, England

Bottle pint:Amber bitter an lower alcohol version of the Pedigree-bitter, and must see very drinkable.

Aroma vaguely salty,faintly floral hops, wishywashy. Pours clear amber with fat cream head reducing to sud ring, Flavour light malt, soapy, a hint of snatch. Slightly redeemed by lingering gently bitter finish. Unremarkable and watery.

Fragrant hop aroma. Fresh hoppy flavour. Smooth and easy to drink bitter. Good as a session beer.

Soft biscuity malt, gentle hop soapiness, a trace of wood. Certainly oats. Not a sniff of the characteristic Burton sulphur, but touches of metal, pencil shavings, distant curranty fruit. Dead and insipid.

Malty head with notes of hops and some metal. Flourescents copper colour. Cream reducing head.Cream mouthfeel, somewhat oily, malts and strong hops in the dry fininsh. Reasonable.

Bottle 23-09-07 Poured mid amber in colour with white head, lacks bitterness, bit sweet and unexciting.

Bottle Poured a pure amber colour with a small white head. The beer is malty, and with a fruity aroma with a faint caramel sweetness. The beer is thin with a malty caramel taste with a hoppy floral and dry finish.

This bitter has a nice red-brown color and a nice head, that leaves a nice lace. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, that also is found in the flavour, where it’s a caramel with light sweetness. The bitterness is found throughout the entire flavour, in the beginning very weak, but it develops and is quite pleasant.
