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 Booths Supermarket, Keswick. Golden with a small head. Golden styled ale with plenty of red-berry fruit in aroma and taste, with strawberry dominant so it’s inoffensive in this respect. I found unless you slow sip it can get overbearing in its sweetened fruitiness.

Delt med Rune. Gyldengul. Nesten klar. Filmskum. Spotlacing. Plommearoma. Smaken tørket frukt. Veldig tørr & bitter etter hvert.

Cask at Bree Louise. Amber coloured, very clear, no head at all. Aroma is sweet and grainy. Lots of sugar. Taste is similar, sweet, cereal. Not very exciting.

Fľaška z lidla. Vôňa sladova prazdnejsia. Farba zlatista tmavšia. Chuť vodovejsia taka prázdna.

Cask @ the Angel Pub Sheffield. Malty, slightly vinous aroma. Malty flavor with grapes, some earthy hops. Ointment. Uninteresting and not clean.
