Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company is one of the newest, historic brewers in the UK. Formed out of a joint venture between Carlsberg UK and Marston’s PLC, who are both shareholders, we combine over 300 years of shared values, history and heritage in UK brewing.

Can from convenience store. I've read the reviews and was expecting something horrible. Not awful, just not anything. Bland, weak, beer flavored water. Pale yellow, weak foamy head. aroma is corn, grain, adjuncts. taste is sweet and weak and disappears into nothing. Faint aftertaste of paste and wet paper. Did I just drink a beer? Hard to tell....

1/2/2019. Bottle from a shop on the way to Colchester station. ‘Enjoyed’ from the bottle but no doubt poured it would have been pale gold with a white head. Aroma of grain, corn, sweet fruit and light caramel plus a hint of banana. Medium to heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, watery texture, average carbonation. Had worse.

13/11/2018. Can from my local post office stores. 8% abv. Pours golden with a foamy white head. Aroma of alcohol, malt, sweet syrup, fruit and grain. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, very sticky texture, average carbonation. Sweet, syrupy finish. Not so bad.
