Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. A Wetherspoons regular.
"This beer is brewed using special Burton brewing water drawn from the hills. The quality of water used at Marston’s Brewery is critical to the finished beer - the well water in Burton-on-Trent gives an unusually clear, bright bitter."

Cask at the Exeter Arms, Derby. Amber with a creamy white head; malty aroma; fruity taste; dry bitter finish with good length. A straightforward bitter well kept.

Cask at the King’s Corner, Oakwood, Derby. I found this copper beer very bland and watery and it had that unpleasant sulphur quality often found in Marston’s beers. I wasn’t impressed; that said, I wouldn’t expect beers to be in especially good condition at the public house in question.

Cask @ JDW, Crystal Palace Aug 07: Words almost fail me. Nettles and a pot of boiling water spring to mind. Dark brown, little to no head, Awful. I could not finish my half.

Cask, The Highcross, Leicester. Amber with an off-white head. Aromas are caramel with some nuttiness. Sulphur with hints of citrus. Flavours are sulphur and salts with toffee malts. Refreshing and simple.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Last Plantaganet, Leicester. A copper coloured beer with tight white head, and thick lacing. The aroma has a little sulphur which is also noticeable in the taste, but that’s much nicer with decent hops and a nice hit of malt. Quite mellow with even a bit of mcitrus. Much better than I expected.
