A very easy drinking lightly coloured pale ale, crafted to commemorate the burning of a used Burton Union barrel. It delivers a sharp thirst quenching bitterness, perfectly complemented with a slightly lemony citrus aroma. The perfect beer to accompany an English Summer. Definitely not for Australians!

Golden, thin sparkler head, nice minerally aroma, sweet biscuity malts, again with a minerally signature, quite drinkable.

(Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 6 Aug 2009) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit and dusty hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of biscuity malt, apricots and dusty hops in the finish. Below medium body, sweetish. Refreshing and drinkable, but hardly exciting.

Cask handpull at The Pheasant, Ashford. Pulled through a tight sparkler, so hard to tell what this is like. It was fine, a solid enough bitter with a bit of dustiness to the hops and a little biscuit character to the malts. Drinkable with my lunch but did not excite me enough to have a second pint.

Cask at The Rock of Gibraltar, Enslow Bridge, Oxon 01-06-09 Pours mid amber with white head. Aroma is mostly fruit and malt. Taste is really quite decent for a Marston’s effort, nicely fruity with a good tangy bite and nice bitter finish. Not bad at all. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov13 3.3
