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

Pours an amber color. Floral and malt aromas. A little rich on the palate with a hint of bitterness in a slightly grainy malt finish.

[50cl bottle from a Bargain Booze in Milton, Staffs.] A bright straw coloured pour with a loose but lasting white head; musty grain aroma with a hint of lemon; pleasant lemony taste; then some short lived pithy citrus; before a jammy grain finish. Refreshing and not too bad.

[50cl bottle from a Bargain Booze.] A bright amber pour with a tight white head; grassy aroma; and an appropriately twiggy taste; with a hint of tropical fruit to finish. As exciting as a blunt pencil.

Sehr plädderiches Ding - in der Nase sehr künstlich, im Trunk ziemlich wässrig, künstlich süß, leicht bitter, pappig. Puh. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cumberland Golden Beer on 03 Sep 2023 at 15:32 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 3 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 2.5. Original review text: Optisch sattes Gold im Glas, Schaum passt. In der Nase künstlich süß, im Trunk genauso, metallisch, nicht wirklich lecker. Da wurde schön viel Industriekram reingemischt, ne danke.

[50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell.] A bright pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; grassy aroma; bready malt taste; with some carmael to finish. An unexciting old-school golden ale.

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.
