Dec 27, 2008 [cask at Monks Retreat, Reading] Amber, slight white head, slight carbonation. Dry spicy bitterness up front, followed by some straw and a light and sweet fruitiness - orange and peach?. Some wood comes through in the tail, with a dry finish. Recognisable Marstons flavour, but - surprisingly - this is a decent beer, and I enjoyed it more than I normally would for something this dry and bitter.

Sep 24, 2008 Cask, The Four Candles, Oxford. Pale gold, fine white head. Think this got pulled through a sparkler. Farmy hop nose and a nice sort of wet dog smell. Light mineral sweetness, nettle hops and a very light alchohol touch. Rather easy-drinking for a strongish sort of beer. Pretty decent overall. I sup without making a face. (Given the last two or three Marston beers I’ve tried, that is massive improvement.)

Sep 16, 2008 From cask. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with fully gone almost white head. Mild fruity and slight malty base flavour. Light bitter and refreshing fruity accent. Biter and rather dry finish yet with a mild fruity hops note.

Sep 15, 2008 A tempting aroma of biscuity malt, floral hops, vanilla and toffee, with hints of citrus fruit. A very refreshing, drinkable and well balanced India Pale Ale. Indeed! 6/20

Aug 31, 2008 Updated: Sep 1, 2008The Lime Kilns. Especially warm socky aroma even by Marston’s standards. Fart and peppery hops in equal measure. Chalky, sulphurous, lightly fruity. Hops swamped by pale biscuity ordinariness. Lukewarm. Need to give it another chance.

Aug 4, 2008 Clear golden with tiny white short lasting head. Sweet fruity aroma with floral hops. Sweet flavor with a fair amount of hops finishing it off bitter.
