Bottle 04/10/2004 Golden amber coloured and hoppy. Some dryness in a bitter lasting finish.

Bottled. Ooh no, didn’t like this one. Sickly sweet and unrelentingly artificial tasting. Glazes the tongue, but not in a pleasant way. Quite bad.

One of Marstons better bottled beers, great summer drinking. Poured a marmalade colour with a thin white head. The floral nose is deliciously zesty, with some limey hop characters. Light bodied and quenching. Has that wonderful Marstons green apple crispness. Here it’s coupled with a citric hop tang and a lingering bitterness. In bottled form, this comes up much better than some of the brewer’s better ales. (Bottle)

I respect Marstons, though I wouldn’t say that there are many differences between their session bitters. This is sold together with Pedigree, Single Malt and Double Drop. Maybe the hoppiest of them. Clear bottle, copper colour, thin head, malty and fruity aroma, hoppy, malty and ironish taste. Dry finish.
