Commercial Description:
Available filtered and pasteurised in 500ml clear glass bottles @ 5.0%. Occasionally available in cask. Has been brewd at 4.6%
The aptly named, "Double Drop", is brewed using just one type of English Barley - Maris Otter - which was harvested from Fuggle Farm in Norfolk. Uniquely, double dropping brings out the full flavour of this one melt, often described as "the king of brewing barley". The double dropping technique allows only the most vigorous yeast to survive and results in a cleaner fermentation process and a fresher, brighter beer. Double dropping involves "dropping" the beer during fermentation from one vessel to another, normally after 24 hours.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slighlty fruity and sweet. The flavor is sweet and rather hoppy combined with notes of fruits, like a mixed fruit bowl. The end is dry and rather bitter.

Bottled. Deep golden, small head. Sweet, sugary and lightly sulphury. Bland with mellow body and low bitterness. Crap, if you ask me...

Sweet fruity aroma with hoppy and rubber notes. Sweet fruity flavor with floral hops leading it to a dry bitter finish.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Orange copper colour with thin white head. Strong caramel and orange aroma with some sulphur. Malts are reasonably juicy with sharp hop finish. One of the best Marston bottled beers, touch of spice too

Scotland, Altguish Inn, bottle. Amber with a huge, nice head. The aroma is malty with fresh notes of hops. The flavour is slightly sweet with floral and hoppy notes and a light bitter finish. It’s OK, but quickly forgotten...

A Mes rate: bottle from god knows where.
Bright gold with a bubbly white collar. Bacon fat aroma with some low quality green and a hint of spent matches. Fantastic it’s not. Bloody hell. This is awful. All that was lovable about the aroma is even more apparent in the flavour but with the added bonus of some rusty old rake notes. Nasty dusty finish. Quite disgusting.

Bottle at fathers. Aroma is skunky, grassy, pale malts, grainy, the sulphur character takes an intresting take once its pasturised, chemically almost. Taste is similar, not a hot drink by any means.

Bottle. Stale and metallic, with a raw malt flavour. Very industrial, tasted like the Single Malt and the Pedigree, rubbish.
