This traditional IPA has fresh aromas of white flowers and citrus with a clean, bitter hop flavour. This classic India Pale Ale is made in Burton-upon-Trent, the home of British brewing. The recipe uses Fuggles, Goldings and Cascade hops and yeast from the Burton Union System, only used by the Marston's Brewery in Burton. The famous Burton water is also used in the brewing process which helps give the ale its distinctive flavour.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s funnily enough. Clear gold, very thin collar of off white head. Some orange fruit hop on aroma. Hops are ok if just a touch of blue cheese. The problem with this beer is in the body. The malts aren’t present enough. And I’m guessing this is filtered and pasteurised so it has that empty feel in the mouth. Hops on the finish are bitter but lacks some flavour and a touch more blue cheese. But really all you get is this touch of emptiness from the lack of malt and the filtering. Ultimately dull no matter if it does have more hops than usual for a UK beer.

500ml bottle. Pours golden with a tiny head. Aroma doesn’t exsist. Some hops somewhere. Malty, hoppy start, weak. Medium bitter finish. Waste of time.

50cl bottle from local Sainsburys. Golden amber with a white head; this has the classic sulphorous aroma associated with Marstons; crisp citrus malt flavour with some honeylike sweetness and digestive biscuit; and a rather green hop finish. Pleasant enough.
