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

Flasa z Lidlu. Vona slaba mierne chmelova. Medova farba. Chut trochu horkasta, vodoma slaba nezaujimava.

Bottle from some local supermarket (but not Booths !) Sweet lemony hops in the nose of this one. Pours a clear golden yellow with a dense white head that lingers (for a while). In the mouth there is a powerful punch of citrus hops, along with straw, malt and a hint of grapefruit. The bitterness lingers at the finish. Surprisingly strong tasting for the strength.

Bottle from Booths Supermarket, Media City. Slightly hazy golden with head. Has a dominant malty-sweet bitterness with a crispness to it, and and underlying citrus flavour. This has a similar textured taste to several other Jennings brews with its water feeling quite clean in the palate.

Bottle on 10th April 2020 from local small grocery. Pours clear amber with shallow foam decaying quickly to zero. Tangy fruits and caramel malts in aroma. Same balance in-mouth followed by sweet berry fruits in a tangy finish. A zingy mouthfeel and plenty of body.

Der nächste Abstecher der Bierreise zu Hause geht nach England. EIn Überbleibsel aus der LIDL-English-Ale-Box, die zumindest vom Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend war. Beim Öffnen sprudelte es mir schon mal entgegen, was ich absolut nicht mag. Offenbar wollte die sportliche Spritzigkeit, womit dieses Bier wirbt, schon raus zum Laufen (auf dem Etikett laufen 2 Jogger vor einem grünen Sonnenuntergang). Geschmacklich war es so lala. Es hatte ein paar nette bittere Hopfennoten im Malzbett, aber es war irgenendwie nicht so aromatisch, wie ich es mir gewünscht hätte - hier entsteht die sportliche Leichtigkeit leider nicht durch frischen Hopfen, sondern einfach durch Abspeckung des Körpers. Man kann es schon trinken und auch wenn es warm wird, so bleibt es lange gut trinkbar, aber von der Aromenvielfalt gibt es interessantere.

Cask at Queens Head, Frodsham (not listed in RateBeer) Pours a pale gold with a small white head. Nose has some floral hops. Taste is lemon with a little malt, but texture is thin and watery. Finish is bitter and fruity. Basically a thirst quencher. Jennings make some good beers – this isn’t one of them
