Cask at Derby Festival ’08. Thanks to DeepBlack for this one. Bright amber. Farmyardy hop aroma. Sweet malty taste, quite thin, later developing a biscuity quality. Some bitterness. Good sessioner.

Jul 24, 2008 Cask at the Woodmans. Served too cold and through a sparkler that would have thought you were having it from nitro keg. Aroma is typically marstons sweet sulphury character. Tste is nutty malts mixed with the sulphury hops. Not my deal and i dont understand how marstons manage to survive as a brewery.
