Shared with blankboy & tupalev, blankboy’s bottle from England. Clear pale amber, smallish frothy off-white head. Borderline skunky, resolves to grassy/pungent euro hops, clover sweetness. Taste is nice tangy clover sweetness & grassy pungent hops. Average body, decent life to it, bitter aftertaste - decent patio beer (stupid clear bottle!). khytre (73), Oslo, Norway

As I wrote: A ordinary fruity welltasting IPA, but now I see it is an ESB, which I didn’t see 3 years ago. Fruits, vanilla, flowers, light grapes. A summer IPA, maybe. McDreamy (24), Pori, Finland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 11, 2007 Bottled. Light amber color with a white disappearing head. Aroma is citric and hops. Flavour is complex with sting of hops. Lasting aftertaste lures you to take an other sip. Nice one. FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland

Flat and orange, no real head, but fizzy in the mouth. Not much aroma either However, very bitter taste, some malt, and some cabbage, but mostly bitter which lasts for ever. Dries the mouth, and will leave you thirsty, presumably for something else. TheGrandMaster (1875), Auckland, New Zealand
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 5, 2007 Updated: Jun 20, 2007Bottle, pours a clear and golden amber with a large foamy off-white head. A strong hoppy aroma, slightly dusty but with a touch of citrus. A strong sour and sharp hoppy palate, dominating the biscuity and woody malt flavours. Some sweetness left in the finish. OK this.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2007 A moderately-hoppy aroma with a hint of plum on the nose. Not much head to rave about but I found it surprisingly flavoursome and increasingly complex, especially the finish. It starts with a dry, bitter, even salty, tang and moves towards a sweet, kiwi-fruit, muscat with hints of bubblegum. A drinkable compliment with food. Easily the best Marston I’ve had. scanovajr (392), Stanford, California, USA
