Description
We started brewing in Burton-Upon-Trent in 1834. Then in 1898 we got itchy feet. So we moved down the road to the Albion brewery. We still like it so we’ve not moved again since.

We came to Burton for the water. Well, for the rocks the town was built on to be precise. The water trickles down through a thick layer of gypsum before we bring it back up again through our well. That’s what gives our beers the depth of flavour, character and crisp refreshing bitterness that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

16/6/2022. Cask at the 30th East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours clear dark amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma is malty, hoppy, toffee, biscuit, golden syrup, stewed fruits. Mediums wetness, bitterness and body. Oily and sticky mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Some dryness to finish, tangy and bittersweet. Scored well compared to most other Marstons I’ve had.

From cask at The Cotton Arms, Wrenbury, England, 17.06.22, when on canal boat with my parents. Served with a sparkler. Clear pale golden. Dense and persistent creamy white head and lacing. Aroma and taste of pale malt, yeast, old bread and some kind of decaying citrus and papaya.

Bottle. Pretty classic English IPA. Pours gold with white head. Floral, easy hoppy presence. Smooth carbonation. Quite okay drinking if no proper IPA is around.
