Lord Marples was the first ever Thornbridge beer! Brewed in 2005 at the Hall Brewery we wanted to try a traditional style for our initial offering, and a classic Bitter seemed perfect.
It pours an attractive mahogany, bringing forth flavours of honey and caramel with just a light bitterness in the finish to keep it balanced.
It’s named after Mr Marples, a former owner of Thornbridge Hall, who enjoyed using the title of Lord while never quite achieving it officially, we thought we would bestow it upon him.
Hops: Goldings
Malts: Maris Otter, Caramalt, Crystal, Chocolate

Bottle at home after a crazy week. Good pour with little head. Nose of malt and some bitter hops and the same for the taste. It's OK but really nothing special. A homage to a bitter but lacking that certain something the good ones have.

Bottle from Asda. Ckear amber body wash an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tea and a hint of brown sugar. Flavour of red berries and earth. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Subtle and true to style, but a bit forgettable.
