Oh how frustrating this beer is! It is almost, almost, very good, but isn't. It has a lovely bitter, dry, citrus flavor with a touch of rye that adds a bit of spice. It's 4.3% with a complex nose and a flavor that could be drunk all night. The label is a wonderful piece of design. So what's wrong, you may well ask. Well, like many of the other Marston's beers I've reviewed, I found it watery with a metallic aftertaste. Surely this is a consequence of the homogenization and bottling process, but at times like these it seems almost criminal. This could have been a very good beer that filled an interesting niche, instead it just squeaks by as a little above average. 6.5/10
