A bit of hay and fruity aromas, but largely dominated by a hay-like maltiness. Taste is a bit citric with fruity undertones, ending on a rather sharp bitterness.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2006 500ml clear glass bottle. 4.2% ABV. Poured a clear pale amber with light carbonation & frothy white head. Nice herbal citrus nose.A well balanced pale ale with expected hop bitterness a downbeat version of their Old Empire IPA. Rounded mouthfeel with long biotter finish.
Pale ale is my favourite style and this is a nice example harrisoni (6830), Ashford, Kent, England

Some metallic hop , some lemon. Thin in mouth and then citric hop on the end. Dull. leaparsons (4750), Leicester, Leicestershire, England
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 25, 2006 Bottle. Golden with a dense white foam. Aromas are typical of a clear bottled Marstons - initially appears skunky with lots of caramel. Things settle down, though, to butter with citrus. Flavours are fairly rough grain with caramel and butter malts. Some citrus with a peppery feel on the palate. Quite dry with bitter grapefruit pith on the finish. Nothing to get feverish about. iammadeofjelly (183), Liverpool, Merseyside, England
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 27, 2005 What a good pint this made. Smooth and hoppy beer, so smooth you dont notice how well its dropping down or which pint you’re even on dornoy (681), Lyngby, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 14, 2005 High white head on a golden body. As a summer drink, it is very nice and lively. Hops and citrus fruits match very well and it is not too bitter. A very drinkable beer, and an experience I’d resume any time. hughie (3079), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 3, 2005 From a cask. Head was small and off white. Good lacing. Light golden colour didn’t look right on a bitter. Floral, hoppy aroma and a citrus and cardboard taste. Not nearly enough lasting bitterness. Sully (1367), Woolloomooloo, New South Wales, Australia
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2005 Normally the Marstons clan have been a bit disappointing. This is not brilliant but it looks and smells very good. A good hit of noble English hops are evident and the bitterness and mouthfeel typically British. A good session beer I would think.
