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

Fruity nose. The beer starts malty with a fruity beginning. Easy to drink, slightly bitter with a slightly grainy back. Malt, caramel. Dry bitter grain in the finish with hints of floral hops. Nice bittered dry beer.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - hazy golden with a nice lacy head. Nose - lemon and meadow flowers. Taste - lemon barley water this time. Lemon or grapefruit pith bringing up the end. Palate - creamy and tangy. Light bodied and clean finish. Overall - much better than the bottled version.
