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.

[CASK: The Red Lion, Witington, Manchester 19/07/06] Not a bad pint just nothing amazing about it. reasonable pleasant tasting but with no real flavour. Mild and uninspiering. Had worse but there is alot better out there!

Cask. Beautiful clear dark copper colour. Green apple flavour, a bit rough, but OK. I do not care much for the apple notes, but it seems to be more rounded than other bitters. Finishes nutty. Very standard bitter with no flaws. But boring, IMO.

Cask at the wharf, Aalborg. Dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is malt and hop. Flavour is fruit, malt, hop. Boring.
