500ml clear bottle. Gold orange coloured beer with a creamy white cap. Grassy aroma, metallic note, some caramel malts behind. Flavour of caramel malt, notes of grassy hops, minerals. Soft creamy body, light carbonation. Uncomplex, drinkable ESA.

Bottle. A decent orange colour when poured, plenty of carbonation and a good white head. Good malty aroma and taste, but it’s better than most of Marston’s other bottled beers.

Clear pale golden. Grainy caramel bit malty aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is malty with some bitter hops, grains and caramel.

Bottle. Thank you, Pinball. Pours pale golden with a small, frothy, off-white film head. Aroma is malty, light corn. Okay mouthfeel, light carbonation. Flavour is dry, light caramel, toffee. Okay, but rather dull.
