Bought for me by somebody who knows nothing about beer. Brewed by Marstons (Carlsberg Marstons), presumably one of their stock range brewed with even cheaper ingredients for Aldi. A non-event

Bottle from Aldi Supermarket, Borehamwood. Deeper amber coloured with a small head. Hoppy ale without a great deal of flavour, just some mild caramels, with these a little more stated in its nose but quite sweet in their aroma too.
