Commercial Description:
Cask; Special.
Marston’s Head Brewer Steve Brooks says the guest ale has been produced with special crystal malt to give a deeper red amber colour to the ale, reflecting the cross of St George.
Steve said: “It has a malty full bodied taste which any English man will be proud to drink as the ale has been created with specially selected, unique English malt and hops.”

Cask. Reddish beer with little head. The aroma is mildly hopped and the flavour is slightly fruity and toffee. Overall an average beer.

Cask at the Exeter Arms, Derby. Copper with a creamy cream head; slightly sulphurous, vegetable hop aroma; smooth and creamy, slightly dry and nutty, then full and sweet; leaving a soft, long, bitter finish.

Cask at the Penny Black, Bicester, 15-04-06, served a bit on the chilly side for my liking, malty and in truth little bit sweet, some hops and decent bitterness, not bad but nothing special.
