On tap @ Marble Arch. Pours golden with a slight haze and a nice frothy head. The nose is grapefruit with just a hint of malt. The taste is much the same - definitely more hops than malt with the grapefruits almost astringent. The palate is light to medium bodied with a palate-ripping hoppy finish. Overall, a well made ale but one for the extremely bitter people out there.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Pleasant, crispy malts on the nose, slight straw hops. Light sweet flavor, light toast malts, nice bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp finish, faintly bready with a nice balance. Good beer.

Cask, 4.3% at the brewpub as Marble Best. Weak grapefruity aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour. Creamy white head. The flavour has a hint of grapefruit and a little sweetness. OK grapefruity aftertaste.

Cask@Knott Bar, Manchester. Amber looks with a lingering medium size off white head and lots of lace. Plenty of grapefruity citrus and fragrant hop in the nose. Great condition and excellent proportions to the flavour with the sweet malt, fruitiness and hops all singing in harmony. Long lingering bitter finish. Massively drinkable stuff. This comfortably kicks most bland uk bitters to the kerb.

Cask at Marble Arch Inn, Manchester. A pale amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, grassy hops, elderflowers, and some grapes. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and lots of hops - lending it notes of grass and elderflowers - seemingly a combination of UK and US hops, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is light.
