Commercial Description:

"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 Wharf, Aalborg. Clear, almost copper-colored with some off-white bubbles for a head. Weak aroma, quite balanced, with malt and hops. Malty flavor with a decent bitterness. Too thin in the mouth, but quite quaffable. Decent finish, but too boring overall. (070331)

Cask @ ’The Wharf’ - Aalborg. Dark Copper colour - clear as a bell. Typical Bitter hop aroma -a bit funky and old. Very dry finish. Not much malt or hops flavour - a very little hint of fruit. A little under averages for style

Cask at the Wharf. Amber with beige head. Malt and corn in the aroma, not very pleasant. Flavour is very weak. Boring.

Mildly poisonous sulphurous nose in the Burton tradition. Thick shaving foam head. Bready maltiness and gentle hop bitterness. Clear chesnut body. Watery Bitter cordial. Pleasant enough but a little insipid. (Re-rate, 23/05/07) The Railway Hotel, Knickersby. Doggy nose becoming more splendidly vile as you drain the glass. A squeeze of old sock. Poisonously sulphurous. Delicate, creamily malty sessions with best-a-man-can-get lacework and drawn-out fresh-bread afters.

Cask: Copper coloured, lacing off-white foam; fruity bitter nose, a bit yeasty; moderate bitter flavour, light bodied; light fruity, later mild bitter finish. O.K., a quite good thirst-quencher, clean and refreshing, not very demanding.........

A dark amber brown beer with a thick white head. The nose is clean and light, with hints of foral hops and toasted malt in the finish. The taste is slightly cloying, sweet malty flavour and there is a touch of dry hop towards the end. (Draught - Lloyd’s Bar @ The Globe, King’s Lynn).

Pint pulled at The Railway in Putney (London), a very clear amber with a thin creamy head. A sour aroma - likely because of lake of quality control at my local JDW - but still some hints of hoppy fruitiness. Smooth in the mouth with a sharp bitter finish. The slight fruity flavours are combined well with the subtle maltiness.
