Description
2005 saw the acquisition of Jennings Brewery by Marston’s PLC.
In 2009, the Cockermouth floods had a huge impact on the business and the site, forcing Marston’s to implement flood safety features and barricades throughout the site. A few short years after the floods, brewing transferred out of the town and a mass rebrand occurred.
Marston's retrained ownership of the brewery (through Carlsberg UK) until it closed its doors in November 2022

Bottle from the local Lidl. Gold with a frothy white head. Herbal aroma. Cereals underneath. Mild caramel. Taste is very mildly bitter. Light bodied with an underwhelming finish. Okay for casual drinking on a hot day.

25/7/2020. Bottle shared with the SHIG at our second Cumbrian bottle share. Pours clear bright golden amber with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of old hops, fruit, grain and metal. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average carbonation. Bit of overripe banana came through. Only fair.

More a golden ale than a bitter, pours a deep gold with a foamy off-white head, and a sweet biscuit malt aroma. Tastes sweet and malty, with fruity notes and a hint of dry bitterness in the finish

0.5 bottle. Nice deep golden color, head is also cheeky. Slightly medicinal, hopy, basically green grassy scent. Great hops. Outstandingly fine beer despite its low alcohol content. I’ve been drinking many times before and I always will if I can. It’s tremendous the way hops taste tasted inside the mouth everywhere ...

Szép mély arany szín, habja is pofás. Kicsit gyógyszeres, komlós, alapvetően zöld füves illat. Remek komlózás. Kiemelkedően finom sör a az alacsony alkohol fok ellenére. Sokszor ittam már, és ha lehet mindig is fogok. Óriási ahogy a komló ízek erződnek a szájon belül mindenhol...

Bottle via Lidl, SK. Seems a bit oxidized, malt coming forward with a dull sherry-like quality. Moderate body, medium carbonation. Not much else in terms of character, hops took a vacation, only med-light dull bitterness, slightly metallic. Drinkable, that is about all.
